Tubes

Spray lights intersperse chilled health
The skin of us is rejuvenating
Our wrinkles smooth…soothed

Yes, this is eternal youth
Yes, we are forever young
No, it was not legend
No, there was a science

The key to immortality is death by rebirth
Desiccate your old body by draining its fluids
Use those juices to form an a-sexual litter
Keep them suspended inside cramp tubes

They make fine trophies

They make unmoving pets

They sometimes itch

They sometimes twitch

We dissipated our youth away by creating them
Yet I know how to gain it back

Pour our prizes into the grinder
Let them awake to a sudden meat making

Bathe in their shining solution again
Bathe my darling
           in the cold radiance
Bathe my beautiful
           in the sleek bedlam
