Multicolor Dinosaur
Muddy footprints
White Band-aids

Butterflies are always in denial that they are bugs
Just moths in silken-ware
Somehow able to rise above the leeching, the wasps
the hive, the cockroaches
the eggs that hatch
inside other bodies
They are born that way
in a cocoon of cushion
Drunk on nectar
To flutter over car windshields
No need to take off the silk scarf
While the breeze of the freeway sconces by
Until it hits
(partially inspired by WakeupLaughing)
I woke up and the world was blurry
I put my glasses on and nothing happened
I reached out to try and touch the thunderstorm
And felt only the warmth of ignorance
Reading this and this got me thinking.
If large fish like sharks and albacore have high concentrations of mercury because the eat the small fish by process of bio-magnification, then humans who eat the small fish would also have high levels of mercury absorbed in their blood stream?
I mean I think the FDA goes on the assumption that our bodies readily get rid of mercury or heavy metals through sweating and through the hair, but do we? I have not been convinced that we do. Plants I know store heavy metals in their vacuoles in ultra high levels where it can't 'hurt' the plant, I don't know human's stress mechanism.
The birds don't mind the fog
Cheerfully chirping away at the pre-dawn
Her a stale version of Meryl Streep
Him a stale version of Sean Penn
Bell bottoms and wavy hair
Socks with sandals
He falls
And she tumbles after
Doing the gypsy dance
To the laundromat swerve
Clouds of smoke
Outside only heard
Night
has
struck
Keeps me from
writing these cat-like
wor-
Though I wouldn't touch them.
