Child watches ink blot

spider fish launch attack

across living room carpet

in Grandmother's house

while building castles out

of multicolored blocks of

wood & plastic.

Child watches terrified

of eight legged creature

who seems to scream with

squish & slime & vulgar sloshing

sounds of hungry mouth filled with

bird beak laughter.

Child offers lava lamp fire

from the gods of retail while apes

& women sacrifice themselves

to save their village paradise from

angry animal kingdon parasites that

tweak & twitter in a spider's egg

of thousands of happy monsters.

Child screams...

Child wakes...

Lava lamp light;

Such shadows it makes.
