1-2

ACROSS THE LOWLANDS
AND INTO PRAIRIES,
TUNNELS AND TREES
BLIND AND DEAF,
COULDN’T SMELL
A THING, MAYBE
IT KEPT GROWING
LARGER EVERY MINUTE,
NEW BABIES ALWAYS
BIGGER,
MEMBRANES IN NOSES
AND EARS COULD HAVE
BEEN STRETCHING,
IT COULD HAVE HAD
FREAKY HUGE LEGS,
ITS RIBS COULD HAVE
FORMED A HUMP, THAT
BEGAN TO DESCEND
DOWN AROUND ITS
BREASTBONE;
UP AGAINST FORESTS
AND JUNGLES, IT MAY
HAVE FOUND SAFETY
IN BURROWS, QUICK
GESTATION, LARGE
LITTERS, SHELLED
FETUSSES WOULD
HAVE GESTATED IN
THE GROUND, IT WOULD
BECOME A MAMMAL;

-IMAGINE THAT CARNIVORES
ALL AROUND EARTH POUNCE
ON SUDDEN TASTY ABUNDANT
FOOD SOURCE RUNNING AROUND,
IMAGINE THAT OCEAN INSTINCTS
CAUSE THIS NEW MAMMAL
TO BE ATTRACTED TO TURMOIL,
POOR SIGHT NOT AN ISSUE,
MAYBE IT SWARMED ALL
PREDATORS, MANY WOULD
HAVE DIED, ATTACKERS
GOT EATEN, PROTEIN IN
ITS KILLERS HELPS IT GROW;
IT MIGHT HAVE KEPT MOVING INLAND
ON LOW FLATLANDS, COLONIZING
NEAR TREES, PUSHED OFF CLIFFS
AND INTO CARNIVORE COUNTRY
BY MOMENTUM OF BILLIONS;
CHANGING INTO MAMMAL, RIVER OTTER
SIZED AND GROWING;
IMAGINE EARS PICKING UP CLOSE SOUNDS,
EYES REALIZING LIGHT IN THE SHADOWS,
NOSTRILS START DETECTING SCENTS,

IMAGINE BURROWS BECOMING TUNNELS;

AND SO A FEAR COULD HAVE R...
