BABY ELECTRIC VAMPIRE

My rice cooker is a baby electric vampire
A rolling father gathers filth
As slowly falling off a cliff
The cat turned up
Wicked is the wind that blows
Over short blades of grass
The propulsion system
Wins again
Sounds have flavors less bitter and
sweet than the previous breathe
Gonzo Godzilla goes back to into his hiding places
Fabric falling from the walls
Holding the can full of fire once more
The two-tone phone sat silent alone
In the bowels of the home
But the people were steadfast
In a state of pure skepticism
The sonnets were read out loud again
The corrugated siding bled green
Into another killing time
The shortest straw drawn
But kind of blue
Sweet succulents with spines
Passed over for a final time
The steam erupts as I remove the top
And consume the fruit of the paddy
