Poetry: Utopia

by S.C. Kleinhans

Created on: April 29, 2009

1400 seasick pumpkins.

Savagely attacked by scores of miniature humans.

Steak knives forming bizarre sculptures.

Orange slime and silver madness.

Somehow blended so perfectly.

They hijacked a leaky boat.

Fleeing Florida ~ headed for Utopia.

But then they began bickering.

Where was Utopia?

When would they finally arrive there?

Who would be their ruler?

Polite discussions turned lethal.

Conveniently armed with knives and an insane anger.

1400 pumpkins were soon reduced

to a sea of juice and seeds just as the boat began

to succumb to the savagery of the swirling sea.
