Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

Jar of Moles (Grant Zoology Museum, London) crittery dozened things each pink snout snootling formaldehyde up it's bamboozler which poor fuck had to collect them out in the dirt with a shovel here moley moley BONK . I’m only gonna put you in a jar and let tourists go eww at you for the next two hundred years god look at me for two hundred years I’d do anything look mummy, one of them’s licking the glass— honey it's dead velvety sweet sardined hope their ghosts are friends teeming in a molish afterlife dark and circular everything worm- flavoured tasty buggy snackerels what if you smashed the mole jar? vinegared moles spilling out flaccid & swimming everyone screaming someone saying Freddy you gotta get us a new jar of moles— —goddammit boss I never asked for any of this A jar of wet preserved moles, the jar is very full and all the little hands, feet and snoots mark it as both upsetting and fascinating
