I cannot sleep without my special clock
it is a bunny
it wears a garish blouse, like the gift

mutated remnants of humanity living on a ruined Earth
exhausted by the salesmen who call night and day
the strippers walking to the morgue with their nurses
the scarecrows and magic that make racing on ruined Earth impossible

I tell my executioners
but they just guffaw
and its getting worse
that mosquito bite
turned me into a racehorse
Linda invited me to a party
and I was the only boy
