prolific opossum

prolific opossum
you may be relied upon
to produce mass quantities
of abject excrement
dropping from
your ink well rectum

crying foul
while sucking the necks
of the prettier pink flamingos

claw scribbled words
an abomination
poetry as a weapon
scavenger of substance
you belong in a garbage can
in the florida heat

how you relish the beady eyed torment
of everything that threatens you

your vermin biting
spreads disease
as you vacillate
between self pity and making war

your saving grace is that soon
something will be eating you
