My other magpie

is actually a weapon,

& my other cuddly kitten

is bursting with venom

…

My other amoeba 

is fucking humongous,

my other symbiotic best mate

is a parasitic fungus

…

My other dear seal pup

craves human flesh,

& my other elephant

fearlessly stamps on mice

–

my other, my other

but not me

I’m nice

…
