mouthed telepathy

falls on deaf

alien minds

–

unacknowledged

lying on slabs

deflated

flaccid limbs

–

induced paralysis

staring

blinding light

suspended overhead

illuminating rigid expressions of

muted agony

–

discomforted at

precision probing

prodded

–

virile vivisection

an attempt to

uncover

what lies

–

morbid curiosity

indulged

conceding

an attempt

to gain

favor

–

center stage of the operating theater

peering eyes peruse

from amidst the elevated position

of the gallery

–

feebly resolved

embracing submission

gaze upon

the frail form

of one so different

–

critique analyze

record report

experiment evaluate

–

what else could a shade of grey

expect

in a

kaleidoscope confettid

rainbow tinted

world of

color
