The Meat Of Life - Clem Snide

I fed from the rotting fruit

Split the stalk inhaled the shoot

Spread the spores with every labored breath

Spit dissolved the mushroom cap

Stretch the tendons til they snap

I gathered up the shells with bandaged hands

To grow the meat of life

I will plant my seed

To grow the meat of life

I will

I fed from the ripened fruit

Naked 'neath the monkey _

The feasting ants found shelter in my shade

Their tiny tongues invade the crops

Unblinking eyes receive the drops

The crackling fire lulled me back to sleep

To grow the meat of life

I will plant my seed

To grow the meat of life

I will
