WE THE RULED We the ruled - torso of downward blood pulse slowing our stretch in time thin skin that grows like epicormic buds lapping in raw licks of sea, plebeian to a gentleman’s chimes. We the ruled – an overfed vertex for a pendulum that takes chunks from our auditory cortex Eon of wilted dummy hair an overflowing kerf laid at severed trunks. We the ruled – the impregnated spider a fossil without tongues the flaccid and unknowing outsider a shell with no oxygen who can only pamper and devour our young.
