                                                                 Jelly madness
                                                           in sAndpaper socks
                                                          put Your hair into the earth
                                                          go iNto the dark meat of a crocodile
           spitting across syncopating roachEs into

                                                       buttoCks of vibrating nostrils
                               we can invent new bOnes
                      a village libating like niagaRa falls
                                                  an armpiT of inflammable explosives
                                                             hEad units and gyrating limbs parading
                                                               Zoom
