Slither-Critters


Reptilian yellow-pink-and-blue-gray
slither-critters crawl into and through
your maze – with android hands

that reach out for you in a haze –
like scary zombies only there
to make you make a forward move –

to prove you have some agency
at least in the reaction. One comes
for you today and sticks his fingers

in your nose; and as he glows,
he seems to say “create the thing
you want, not just the picture of your

wanting it.” You’ve been shunting
brainless slither-critters in and out
forever. However, this one’s clever.
