They have
gone to the nature store
and brought back
a Lion
in a box
as big as a man
it is sitting
in the garage
as Pahn reads
the instructions
he begins to worry
“You’re lion will always eat
what he kills in the same place”
“Be sure you have chosen a
location where it is OK for the
remains of the kill to lie”
He imagines
the neighbor children
or the cats and dogs
He has grave concerns
about his purchase
While Aiks
is setting up
the water purifier
Pahn goes inside
to do research
on felines
Soon Aiks runs in
annoyed
and disdainful
saying
“Daphnis
has let the lion out
of the box”
Pahn runs out
terrified
and angry
and scolds Daphnis
trying to impress upon him
the danger
But the lion
is only a kitten
needing restraint
only for its own protection
against cars
and strangers
Aiks
grabs it
grabs it
by the neck
not gently
holding it down
on the garage floor
changing its diaper
as it becomes
primal
and hairless
growing in sex
