Body, wondrous and bizarre!
Soft flesh that the least thorn will puncture,
Without claws, fangs, poison or armour,
Yet conqueror and ruler of worlds!
Body, exploded from a microdot,
Reared up on hind legs out of monkey jungle,
Scanning horizons with predatory eyes,
Strutting ungainly and proud!
These grasping hands manipulate the world.
This head, butting against the sky,
Radiates power and desire.
