i. the universe

[Decemberist]

I, the universe.
First class on the jellyfish express.
Living in a citrus dream where the
insects are just as tall as me.
My anthill paradise,
my bee hive residence.
Boiling tea in a caffinated sea and
spitting out steam through my glockenspiel teeth.
My orange peel clothes,
grapefruit eyes,
and celery fingers.
I am the last piece of fruit hanging from the tree,
holding on desperately for somebody to pick me.
Spoiled,
rotten,
but still
the apple of your eye.

Brilliant, I thought it was really cleverly done. The insect imagery was really cool, twinned with the fruit stuff at the end.
The line 'Boiling tea in a caffinated sea and spitting out steam' was my favourite, awesome stuff.
