concerning the terraforming caterpillars 

 

After the first period of the Great Removal, the DOE sent out a series of

four-wheel drive 3D printers to the moon

which spit out prefabricated suburbs made of PLA

followed by Danpalon and a dressing of dense phosphates

                             

Observe the metal insect crawlers, which trundle over this craggy land

their grapnel jaws dislodging it from its primeval dream!

 

At that moment a space frog, shaken by the traffic

fell from a crevasse underneath the bridge

below into the quarry

into a crevasse

where it then laid over

and turned up its pale belly

to die
