spittle and prittle

terrorists smoking Pall Malls while bouncing on a Camel
smoke bombs set off throughout the concourse, inside the glass,
of a giant's great and wondrous food hall.
bodies begin their spinning on the spit, drooled flame-less,
rotisserie speared entrails dripping, fatty intestines gutless wrenching.
hair shorn cut cropped, picture-in-picture,
framed.
see, seeing, sought to answer, to avoid the unforeseeable future
bear witness to the spectacle of the unknown. prittle, prattle,
the beast must be fed, hand me down your sicle, pass me over
your saw. see what you're doing?  your flesh about to thaw.
the gaping, mawing machine of time, ticking, tocking,
sea whores rocking. swaying to the rhythm of the cooking drum.
 cock rocks, penis shock, stood rock proud, everybody step
into the light. you will not escape.
prepare yourself, repair yourself, here she comes,
ready, ready, into the cage.
the bottomless feedbag of time.
raise your hands to the sky.
anxiously, anxiously, the whirling dervish, rising like leaven
the pearly gates are closed.
no one dare enter and no one does repent.
afterlife a falsehood created opium dream,
poppy colored splendor ashes burnt bones remains.
 the marrow has been rendered from you tender youth.
forgotten truth's unremembered, lies well fornicated.
we slaughter the natives, prepare them for the crematorium,
 since time began into immemorium.
the judge's sit there judging the watcher's keep on watching
you know your time is coming, empty out your bowels.
circumcision unflinching twinkling eyes, pour out
your embers of love's lost last remains.
burnt beyond recognition no taste remains
hole, carved out, left starving, your blood
line bleeds refrain.
arteries sliced open, viscera spews smoke stacks
belching toe taps run prancing.
dancing cerebellum churning, bodies exhausted inhaled,
speared through aorta heart valve open,
closed.
satiated
  fevered scarlet blood reigns pulled tight,
frothing wildly madly delirium.
 sets in.
