GIANT CREATURES


it is chasing us: a giant sea scorpion!
so we jump out of the waters
to get out of its way
its mouth
its hunger

now are we on the beach; what’s to do?
we can
’t breathe here!

luckily we have strange little fins
strong little arms already
that help us crawl back into the waters
once the giant sea scorpion is gone

that was three, four hundred million years ago

today the same arms
with the same bone structures—all these tiny pieces in the hand...
I am typing words to escape the same old giant sea scorpion
its giant mouth
its giant hunger

it is chasing me, us!
and we know its shape and smell because they never left our brain
our old,
our ancient brain,
there is so much stuff hidden in it...

it is frightening!
It is frightening not!

I am just about to go and read the
Chronicle of the huge and mighty Gargantua.
