industrial apes arrive

all cancerous parts

descend his body

devour his heart

appendage inflated

shrieking at ceilings

these terrible creatures

devoid of feelings...

petroleum thick

about bulbous shapes

some without eyes

testifying in ape

in long-dead language

too hushed to discern

so the horror goes on

session adjourned...

protuberant thing

stricken with rock

cleaners in packs

conspiring with mops

the judge remains mute

expression severe

as something stirs within

something dreadful...
