Space Scum
he opted not to say anything
no one would believe him anyway
he didn’t believe his own eyes
when he saw
the creeping scum from outer space
dissolve his dog
his parents
now it was oozing
into the city sewers
he knew if he told the police
he would be blamed
for the houses
the slime comet destroyed
blamed for the ruins
of the school
the church
for the shattered scattered bones
of his high-school bully
none of that was his fault
it wasn’t him
this time
really
so let the space slime
bubble up in their toilets
dissolve their sorry asses
he’d keep his mouth shut
even if it killed him
