Modern Savages

Swathed in primal tattoos 

and pierced like prostitutes,

we are in touch with our tribal and animal selves

as well as our tantruming, crayon scrawling inner children

though we are overeducated from literary Vorticism to Euclidian geometry

to the invisible 'dark energy' theoretically accelerating the universe's expansion:

We walked out of a Jungian dream and into your nearby gentrified downtown,

thumping our African Djembe drums and wizarding our I-Phones:

all we need is face paint and shrunken heads!
