Tribulations

One-legged thought 
had a solitary confinement.
       Down’s syndrome frightens the catfish.

The bottom dwelling 
body double, wants a compensation
       for jumping up to your lips.

Not impressed, in vitro
the black moon
       heaps a silver spoon in your mouth.

The body preys on your soul.
Are you ready to take a dip 
        in the smoke coming out of the tunnel ?

The hard boiled tale 
of intrauterine device, seals the 
        fear of life. there was no birth, no death.
