Fire Water

When frozen, time congeals to a globule

Reduced to a colony, a causal lump

Casually inflicting numbest mumps glistening,

inconspicuously alarming, dangerously disarming

especially to those who are Neither, Nor Plump.

Scientifically it responds in the oppressors favour,

trampling the fittest in its path

leaving its own body-parts cooling

Disfunctional but ignited in the hearth

Bleeding to succeed.

To be classified as weed.

Less commonly consumed as feed.

We were raised and in praise of respectable greed.
