Big Bigger Burst

Twentieth century dinosaurs, gulping everything in their paths, glub, they swallow and expand, inflating groceries into supermarkets, workshops into factories, farms into plantations. Glub, gulping everything in their paths as they creep over the globe, glub, gulping towns cities counties countries oil wells.

Glutted yet still hungry, they vacuum the land. And they become the land. Like overgrown dogs they shake themselves, knocking the government off their backs. And they become the government.

Glutted yet still hungry, they claw resourcefully under oceans.

Glutted yet still hungry, they suck. And the water, rushing in becomes undrinkable.

Glutted yet still hungry, they inhale. And the air, rushing in, becomes unbreathable.

Glutted yet still hungry, but what's left?

They are.
