Webs of Life
I am shocked. This poem indicates the main theme of ECCC long before I first envisioned the story series. The themes of ECCC must have been jumping around my mind long before I ever considered writing it.
Also, this was a pain to transfer to this website.
Webs of Life and Death | ||||||||
Jeromy the pediatrician. He woke up in the hospital. His stethoscope, it checked hearts. He plugged in his microwave. Shocked and died, by electrical cord. | Jane the magician. She woke up on the beach. Her hat, it held tricks. She ate some spoiled meat. There she died, she got sick. | Janess the waitress. She woke in the diner. Her platter, it stacked pancakes. She tripped, her legs snapped. She died, but she delivered her plate. | ||||||
Jessica the baby. She woke up in the womb. Her umbilical, it strangled her. She asphyxiated herself. Sadly, she died, she'd barely lived. | Jeff the musician. He woke up on the bed. His bass, it overwhelmed. He fell into a pool. Where he died, where he drowned. | Julia the mermaid. She woke up in the sea. Her song, it lulled fish to sleep. She angered a Great White. In jaws, she died. She became sushi. | ||||||
Jarom the minister. He woke up in the chimney. His dwellings, they were clean. He performed a baptism. Fired, he died, not water, but gasoline. | Jerry the plumber. He woke up in the tub. His solvent, it cleared pipes. He walked down a dark street. And he died, his money swiped. | Jean the leper. She woke up in the swamp. Her diseases, they were many. Bugs and rain ended her life. She died, exacerbated by humidity. |
