Those Horrible Monsters

1

The box jellyfish
a cnidarian

medusozoa, class
cubozoa

its venom can kill from
10 feet away

and it will feel nothing.

 

2

Ginger lemon green
tea steams—

stems

from early
agricultural endeavors.

 

3

It costs
one dollar

fifty cents
and four

make that eight
flights of stairs

to buy gummy fruit snacks

to which I ask

is that fucked up
or what?
