MOONLIGHT EXACERBATED
EATING CONTEST
Everyone took a number and then stuffed
themselves with cupcakes. Or at least
that's what the sign said. Everyone sat
down in a row and then drank gallons of milk.
Or at least that's what the newsman said.
Everyone fell over, writhing on the ground.
Or at least that's what the police report said.
Some new kind of witches, a coven of
harmless fools, a militaristic nature cult.
That was crowd talk. You pick.
-
This is what happens when Mankind gets
crowded, when too many people live in
one place, when neuroses and anxieties
have taken over and prospered.
Cows lick salt. Mankind licks
its own ill illusions. All
this, and a highway
runs past.
