I'm So Hungry

Godzilla in Tokyo
leveling the landscape
I am 10,000 feet tall
towering over trees and buildings
blocking out the sun
surrounded by screaming men and women
thinking - I really had a peaceful goal,
but I can’t seem to help ingesting a few people along the way
somebody’s always getting hurt
fingers caught in the car door
and sometimes it’s my own hand
sometimes I’m the one that’s screaming
but mostly nothing touches me except the memories -
which are like the bones of all those people -
pricking my tender prehistoric toes
like glass shards in the soft pink of my palms
so that every time I touch someone new
I remember those before and put my hands down
back into my pockets
and walk away
