It’s Time to Grow It Beneath the Old One

You’re now dull and dreadful, hence brush your nose against

pebbles, scrub it against lumpy and grumpy surfaces or wood.

Collect on beaches, successful and partying party members,

like you are all elephant seals that come to the lovely land

to give birth or breed. Is it not marvelous to toot and molt?

Come to the land of plenty to shed old skin or fur. Raise, raise

a fresh layer, rub against rough sides to shell off the old skin

inside-out like snakes exterminating fleas. Are you not fiends?
