Somewhere Else

Somewhere else A tuna's being stirred by a chef's ladle Football fans are rioting on a pitch It's 6: 00 pm. There's blood on a surgeon's scalpel Parasites chew at a cruel emperor's vitals A page boy coughs at his step sister's bridal A virus mutates inside a child called Anna An octopus drowns a man with a single tentacle A letter drops a bombshell on a mat A fabulous rose loses at last petal Floods flush out a holy relic from a cathedral Ladybirds swarm in the grass A volcanic eruption gives a fatal spectacle A small red house is plotting its own destruction A bassoon drowns out a triangle A banker dies half through the London marathon An ice flower cracks, its frozen surface, brittle One tribe annihilates another, calls this victory A cloud over Mount Fuji floats by, ethereal A box stares up at the sky for signs of rain In hundreds of glamping sites, pork sausages sizzle Black widow spider sets out table for two Dancers gyrate to the sound of a gypsy fiddle A god rolls up a country like a carpet Night opens its mystery into a magic portal A labourer eats a sandwich twenty stories high A scientist plays with death in a small crucible A child is sucked into a looking glass Life passes by with the speed of a leaping squirrel Dracula hunts hearts to press in his album A bald poet goes missing in Herculaneum A camel steps through the Biblical eye of a needle A war is started by a line of text A cockerel crows on top of a town steeple A flock of sheep turn purple from eating lavender A dead warrior lies in a stand of nettles Milk teeth run off to gossip about chocolate An asteroid crashes into a ball weevil Somewhere else there's going to be an upheaval
