Similes

Death like a sudden cat
whimpering in your sock drawer a towel

wet & discarded on the rug
a one pound weight hanging
from the small of your back
a suitcase of bees left in the mall
like neglected vegetables

like running upstream

like a gorilla, shaking the earth
with each methodical bite of wild
endangered flora.
