TYRANNOSAUR!

I LIKE TO THINK OF THE TYRANNOSAUR..

I like to think of the Tyrannosaur as a solitary beast,
Alone by choice and nature, aloof and so proud.
Á terrible arrogance and blazing omnipotent self
With room for no other.

I like to think of the Tyrannosaur as quite smart
In an evil kind of way
Most cruel and predatory cunning
A clawing sense of self; an expression of power
From the egg.

I like to think of Tyrannosaur coupling
As a rape -
A midnight ambush:
Bellowing- Hissing female in a grip
Moonlight shattered trees and dustclouds; the thunder of the earth.
And a rape.(Male stalks contemptuous away thereafter)

I like to think of gawky young teenage Tyrannosaurs
Brutally rejected from the nest
Endless oafish savageries of sibling spite
Forgotten nor forgiven
Each alone.

I like to think of a tough and thuggish young apprenticeTyrannosaur;
Only eight foot tall but rough and strong and smart
And ruthless-cruel -
Killing the locals.

Carving out a territory of (her) own
Plotting at the hated scabby weakling wrinkled Bitch ...
In possession.
(She won't live forever...

I like to think of the monstrous young adult Tyrannosaur
Newly Victorious;
Grinningly scenting the air.
Cool and Cruel and battle-scarred and canny -
Knowing.

Hot blood erotic through every throbbing artery -
Ready to kill.
