Poetry: Parasites

Out of every orifice

And into every creed

There crawled a rotten maggot

Who wanted us to bleed.

In every darkened crevice

Of every moonlit night

There slept an evil monster

Decaying in its plight.

In everybody's bedroom

Underneath everyone's stairs

There waited unhatched larvae

In tiny, pungent lairs.

In every ancient gateway

Of all historic towns

There lay a large black creature

Just waiting to be roused.

On everybody's person

In everybody's brain

There sleeps a secret so dark

It has to rise again.

    Parsing the modules of retro
    Activity, the backwards feeding
    Rabid personalities, more fuel, more you
    Against this fraying hunger
    Slay

    by Marea E. Johnson

    Burrowing quickly
    into my skin
    I know what you want
    I know where you've been.

    Starving for food
    and needed attention
    You contaminate

    by G E Barr

    LOOKING FOR A CARCASS

    There will be a Republican trail

    Leading from the scene

    It's their job to move in

    Use up what life is left

    It
