Pearly Whites
Rotations, Revolutions, and Turnovers
Its pearly whites
Feed the Pearly Gates
In hogbelly bites
When it masticates
*
Rudimentary arms
Will flap impotent
Even its thunder-thighs' charms
Won't outlive the rodent
*
Its doom comes
From the skies submitted
And evolution from
Rendered less fittest
*
Too big to fail
Makes failure likely
Sinking in shale
And extincting politely
*
The world will revolve
Rotating daily
Flora and fauna evolve
And Nature selects gaily

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
