Come on down, come on now,

the shoulders of Giants, their necks and their heads

their vertebrae stacked in irreverent piles

the drivers have forgotten how easily they fall

and tumble crush the bodies sat for lunch

 

great yellow elephants beneath their tiny riders

whips exchanged for microchips, feed for gasoline

have carried Giant pieces daily far from where they stood

only the feet are left, toes still clenching fists of dirt

 

bones dried, cut to size, and tied

we will live inside their ribs

heart removed with so much noise

sawdust coats the walls

Be Careful, sawdust burns
