Alligator MAG
There are
crocodile eggs
at the basin of
my sink
smiling up at me
with pointy teeth
and snapping tooth
jaws like diamonds
and missing eyeballs.
I glare at them
with eyes shut
and fingerbeds open,
showing my cat scratches
and sugargliders.
They converse in my
head
and I shoot endless
water and spit at
them full of nonalcoholic
beverages and flaring nostrils.
For I will become their pet
in no time and
perhaps nothing
but Batman
could save me.

Thank you for the kind comment.
Batman was a reference to my boyfriend at the time I wrote it.
I like how the meaning of this poem isn't obivious and it's wonderfully random ( Batman?) and simple.
Awesome poem.
:)
Thanks for the comment! :)
It is simple, but cryptic and abstruse.
And this is just a guess, but I'd like to try to determine it's hidden meaning.
Is is about self-mutilation?
