with the magnetic motors
of conveyors, centrifuges and camshafts.
Biological blobs of gamete...

Where the floor meets the wall,
She stands in her usual spot,
Craving a cigarette,
Observing, processing, psycho-analyzing,
Another Saturday night with her friends.

God told old Noah to build an ark,
To make it out of gopher bark.
Noah did as he was asked,
And worked until he completed the task.

Then God told Noah to gather the beasts,

Though the necks

The wolves just sat their laughing
As the woodchucks sang...

A veritable paradise; proof of His Love.

Summer's regalia, like the...
