My World of Worms
Tens of thousands
Of worms look
At me with their
Tiny eyes. They
Plough my earth
And steal steal
Steal and demand
All for nothing.
They mindlessly
Weave about their
Underground maze,
My world of worms,
And think they
Are the surface

Of worms is all
Around and it
Must be appeased
Not stamped out,
Flattened like
It ought to be.
I watch my world
Of warms grow fat,
Glutted, reproduce
Endless images,
Vomit forth the same
The same, the same.
My world of worms
Should not be

“This revelation renewed his examination of the area, and he noted how the pristine, blinding white of the sand formed a stark, bright simplicity against the rugged, unbridled mess of overgrown jungle. Perhaps he was the first person ever to come here. Loneliness induced terror, and his mind began to race at what could have evolved in a place outside humanity, of what could have kept this island undiscovered in a world tamed by mankind.”

So today I managed to get the date of my driving test wrong. I thought it was this morning, filled myself with nerves and dread only to find out that its actually next week, cunningly managing to inflict maximum misery upon myself - all the fear of the driving test but without the relief of having got the driving test over with. Grim.
