A guy screamed
“The whole world's gone chiah
all of it, it's too late
if you spill water on any surface it'll
sprout a green fro of foliage, but
there's no stone animal beneath it, or no
stone head beneath it, the hair thing
won't be implied or funny, it'll just be a plant, fuck.”
The newspaper man grunted while petting his dog
He said “I lived through worse.
When the whole world was Wooly Willy,
When everything was magnetized
and the iron filings stuck to it all
like evil fur. The beard image wasn't funny,
even the few surfaces
with the image of a face on it
lost their novelty.” And the newspaper man
looked down for a second,
his dog was drooling asleep,
with the drool making greens grow
from the sidewalk right there
The guy who yelled at first said,
“Well, there's a pet right there.
And you could technically shave the plant off the sidewalk
and put it on his head or something
and it'd look relevant.
An actual pet
for the chiah.
Hehe.”
