I close my eyes and dream
of having sex with a giant squid.
Yes, a giant squid, from deep within the sea.
Oh, your succulent, inverted nipple-like suction cups,
with fingers that spread and gush
through the thick and dark black water.

Oh, prize of prizes, hunters of hope!
To snatch you from the sea
but sadly, you are never seen—
a mystery to the world. You rule
the ocean blue and I wish to have sex with you
and have hybrid babies. Half human,
half giant squid to waddle the earth
and control from jungle to urban jungle, yet never
be seen. Stay hidden little squid-like
manifestations of me. Stay hidden.

But your one and only orifice,
your mouth and anus,
Has a large, razor-like beak.
And in short, I am afraid.
