Admin's Featured Poem Pick of the Week for October 19, 2009


"Toys"

But he's a brontosaurus! They were herbivores I think. Big smooth teeth? That's what they want you to think. He's standing there. All stiff. Like he hasn't even noticed us. I know he thirsts for blood. Herbivore means he eats plants. So? So we're not plants. We were plastic once. Close enough. I think he's cross eyed anyway. You can't be afraid of a cross eyed brontosaurus. Fine. . .We must kung fu fight now! I don't know kung fu! Look, just wiggle your kung fu grip handle. Thing. No. Come on. Please? Really I just can't. I've never told you this but I was made in Tibet. I can't fight. It would be against my makings or something. I saw you without your shoe on. It said "made in China". I don't care. My heart is full of peace. Let us discuss the nature of reality. Of yin and yang. Let us talk of plants and life cycles and why that unicorn seems to be impaling a monkey. In space. I'm jumping off this shelf. I really am. Tell them to give my dog tags to Sarah. The dog will just eat them if you leave them around.
