The Human Seed - Nuclear Death

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

Burrowd away…

I realize now wher 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…
