a trick of the eyes
a comedic intent
from the robotic creature
its primary goal
secondary to none
to eliminate and exterminate
the scavenging ratswhat can be done
if anything
to face off against them
to finish what they started
to end the ratsmillions of dollars
years of research
to create the ultimate
in rodent hunting
the ultimate fear
in the eyes
of the rat king
- the vents broken
splinters of the ceiling
eaten away
gone for good
yet they never left
in the south end
they feast.
