a pyramid of crisps stacked next to an ancient stone pyramid
indistinguishable from each other at a distance
only one will be insurmountable to the obese child

a man standing in a puddle of the liquids he has burped up over a year
is standing next to a mechanic from Doncaster
who's climbing into a time-capsule/cannister
as part of the chosen artifacts about to be buried by schoolchildren
oh the cruelty of the young

The mechanic from Doncaster is therefore being prematurely immolated
The hungry ghost of E.A. Poe is therefore satiated.

Horses see numbers like this,
they see the spectrum beaming off them as bees do flowers
which is why horses unseat numbered jockeys
and call it 'unbeaming'

Now you are better informed go forth and lead a better life.

You see, a rigorous application of scientific fact to one's life rather than adoption of irrational beliefs is the way to a better life.

And I so want the better life I am prepared to adopt a newly born coefficient and nurture it with my own heart's blood.
