INEVITABLE CITY (December 19)
Creation requires that everything kill.
Killing's fulfilling everything's willing.
All creatures follow the law to the letter.
We, the chosen, of course, do it better.
We were chosen because we excel in disposing
with any and all living things:
flyers, crawlers, swimmers, walkers,
with and without fins, limbs and wings.
Foolish or wise, regardless of size,
all we encounter we cause to expire
which we're assured is perfectly swell
with our God who, like us, is a single cell.
