FAIR WARNING
Austin, Tejas, United States
by Logan Phillips
The dinosaurs didn't die
out. They went underground
and waited for you mammals
to build them palaces.
They sent the birds
to spy on your hubris.
It was a dinosaur who
leaked to human science
that it is possible to burn
their dead bodies as oil.
The dinosaurs giveth
and the dinosaurs yanketh
it all back. They have colonized
the imaginations of the young
boys and increasingly the girls'.
The dinosaurs are masters
of irony. It was their idea
to make plastic toys
of themselves. Plastic is
of course made of oil.
Toys of course occupy the
childrens' hands. The
dinosaurs teach the children
to cheat on government tests.
They survive on lost socks,
banana peels and our ignorance.
They survive underground.
Don't you understand, you
sweaty, hairy monkey?
It's the dinosaurs who are
responsible for global warming!
They're heating up this terrarium
for their impending return.
Environmentalism is a distraction.
Terrorism is a distraction
Your monkey sex life
is a distraction. That's
why the birds look at you
the way they do! And still
you feed them birdseed,
you ignorant bipeds!
Of course they're pretty.
So are swords, you
devolved sack of warm blood!
Don't believe the paleontologist
propaganda. Our museums are filled
with lies. Our museums
are filled with pro-dinosaur
bullshit! Our pathetic poetry
ignores their teeth. The
boogeyman is a dinosaur, stupid
human children! It's a dino
that's been sucking your goats,
you rancher, you meat farmer,
you chupacabra-fearing suckfool!
I cannot believe your amusement
at this! Of course there are no
dinosaurs in the bible, you
fundamentalist fucks! Dinosaurs wrote
the bible! To distract us!
A great literary sleight-of-hand,
not putting themselves in
their own book! The spaceships
are our only hope! To the
stars, monkeys! To the stars,
monkeys! The jungle is theirs!
