Intervention inevitability looms over the vat of fishtank fantasies.
Can you see your end?
You invented it.
Stampede over corpses of countries sundered by self-righteous indulgence.
Just don’t look back.
You’re still in charge.
That impending paradigm ticker hits t-minus zero and counting.
Will they hate you for it?
Drosophila never knew any better.
Stave regret and remorse until death do you entwined.
Your conscience is clear.
The dead know no grief.
Filth and fire!
Judgement call insensitivity
abounding within veils of negativity.
Feels faint with fear yet it resides,
causes:
Incest
Pride
Spiteful cries echo in sealed chamber walls.
No one dares to risk a fall.
Impossible boundary,
invisible wall.
Hate reverberates and steeps.
Outsiders unashamed?
No one else can be blamed!
A climax approaches.
Automatically-bared semi-auto retort.
Meanings erased,
Empty shells replaced.
Symphonic cocking and grasp,
and impotence takes hold at last.
Predation but playful,
Arouse more than prey’s suspicion.
Felidae begs for more than forced submission.
Inclination to dismissal,
anti-social,
impending.
The dark Carnivora,
with Mammalia swelling.
Eight times asphyxiated,
but vivacious still.
By twilight,
those with Chordata, she kills.
Second-sight fantasies,
called through ether destinies,
blaspheme the promise of one Animalia ethical
In apocryphal reality.
Careful, sloth, continuous
ingestion of her disingenuous
filth will rot your yellowed
teeth and collapse your bankrupt
heart valves quicker than cocaine-
laced Crisco. You don’t require
her aid in this endeavor.
Non-Euclidean nightmares brought wanderings of death.
Simple specimen statistic in its natural habitat.
Imitable.
Altruism.
Intangible.
Droceraceae, and nitrogen was love
he lacked.
Hasty Caryophyllales,
to synthesize specialized leaves.
Month per meal, but he went years.
Four traps deployed.
A desperate ploy,
And Anthophyta fights back.
Plantae as immobile,
roots deep in thin soil,
three victims’ pods did close.
Their chitin drained and crushed,
by necessary lust.
Though,
through this,
he grows.
Vindictive? Yes.
Savor the burn.
Your silence now will save sorrow later.
You see…
your fish of faith is ignus fatuus.
Coelacanthiformes rained aspersion on the reigning.
But their crumbling gilt towers took no time reframing.
“Delicate,” they said.
But who else took shelter?
Not Marjorie of Sarcopterygii!
We in Chordata refuse to settle.
Animalia stubborn.
Just test our mettle.
Imagination divine.
We refuse reality.
How long can one survive without being able to see?
By “one” I mean “we”.
And perhaps,
in time,
we’ll grow lobed fins
and finally be free.
Supplies:
-approx 100sq. ft. plywood
-three metal poles approx two feet in length, two inch diameter
-three baseball helmets
-industrial power drill with a two inch drill bit
-various screws, nails, nuts, bolts, washers, etc.
-diacetylmorphine hydrochloride (syringe)
-3 lawn chairs
-duct tape (2 spools)
-100ft. durable rope
-one extra large dolly
The Apparatus:
-plywood frames support and balance the helmet and conductor rod on the test subject
-this design should increase the chances of a direct lightning strike on the test subject both because of the conductivity of the conductor rod, and by making the subject the easiest jump-point between the clouds and the ground
-because of the weight and unwieldiness of the apparatuses, the subjects will be secured onto metal lawn chairs to maximize conductivity and stability
-rope bindings will be employed to prevent the test subjects from adversely affecting the static experiment conditions
Obtaining the test subjects:
-Dr. Reginald (unhappy) should be leaving his office around 6:30pm. By cornering him outside of his car in the parking deck, he should be easily dissuaded from doing anything other than what I suggest. If met with resistance, or if others are present, he may need to be physically removed and secured in the moving van. Being an obese, elderly man, there is little to no risk involved in this scenario.
-An ambush tactic, employed from the hedges of her new front yard, should be enough to quickly convince Mrs. Applegate (happy) that she has no other choice but to join Mr. Reginald in the cargo area of the van. Due to her small stature and limited physical strength, she should be easily apprehended. She usually walks Ki-Ki, our Yorkshire terrier, around 7:00pm and her fiancée does not return home from work until sometime between 7:30pm and 8:00pm. The dog will be able to provide her with no protection.
-After both subjects are acquired, they will be transported to the test site, and secured with an apparatus. After both are fully secured, I will attach the third apparatus to myself (control) after placing the camera in a secure location and administering a dosage of the diacetylmorphine hydrochloride to Mrs. Applegate.
-All of this should be accomplished just before 10:00 pm, the predicted arrival of the storm.
Hypothesis:
-Human beings, through evolution, have developed a defense mechanism against being struck by lightning bolts. Via natural selection, humans have begun to experience sadness during periods of adverse weather conditions. In other words, individuals who are not sad, or who are happy, have a greater chance of being struck by lightning.
