My creator appeared to me in the form of a black lion She checked my temperature to make sure I was ready It was one oh six point seven She preferred point eight, but couldn't wait I rode her to the arena There she licked my foot to rehydrate me Left me pleading in the dirt The ministers went silent Drank milk powders Spilled some on the infants, to begin their rites People slaughtered each other out of joy People murdered their pets Pissed on each other Masturbated in their front yards Vomited in public fountains Gouged out the eyes of reptiles, and mutilated fish Then prayed deeply, and watched as their bodies transformed Rejoiced to the process There were rainbows everywhere Everywhere
