We're starting to ripe

a culmination of
societies venom
in the form of
smiling white teeth and black gums
gutter smoke poofing out
the onyx concave in-between
empty, hole-sockets
vertical eye punches
repeatedly
dragging away from
sludge and grit
to slither up and down
some pure white coral
ejaculating acid
mud drips down
eroding and draining
while the coral tries to escape
still pure
until the smiling grin moves aside
replenished
with its eyes slithering behind it...
