Cannibals

Their big day, their grand
and gaudy roll-out of an-
other declaration of war a-
gainst humanity's inclement
interest in their greed and
rupture of an organism they
don't begin to understand,
but to steal, shred, devour.

Rape at its most gratifying.

When did even Zeus demand

some extra credit from his

idolators, for an abduction

of Europa? What is this bi-

zarre exultation in dismem-

bering the vulnerable, the

lovely, the plainly life-

sustaining, for cheap shots

of joy in some cistern of

revenge?

Now who is the better cus-

todian of the fossils, if

not those who inherit them?
