There was a grave at the well
and each step was a foot within
even after all the signs and warnings
they steeped themselves into the pit
all the squirming and splashing about
as they sang and danced away
picking sides from random choices
useful idiots 101.
–
But the heat built up
and no one knew it
till it was foaming down the sides
now the dancing has ceased
and their features puffed up
face down in the lying grave.
