The Human Seed

I planted a row of fetus this morning

found them in the garbage behind a clinic

I grow impatient after a week of waiting

they have yet to show sign of growth

I gave them vitamins and gave them my feces.

and yet they remain unseen...

I dig them up but I find only one.

and I planted six - six - six

the fetus is black and covered in all manner of insect.

I cannot harvest this fungus covered meat

I notice that it has been set upon by small teeth

and I notice rifts in the dirt where the other five

burrowed away...

I realize now where I went wrong.

too many vitamins and not enough of my feces

but alas it is too late...for they have returned

they woke me so they could eat

And all I ever wanted was to raise children of my own.

My father must have pulled me too early from the ground...
