Macrophage


Macrophage
Laijon Liu 20171101

slowly they patrol in our vessels
and collect, consume our waste

their elephant memory is built
to map out the far away distance

uptown avenues, downtown streets
where and when the rush crowds pass

harvest in every trash bin, in their
zeppelins and their wrinkle smiles

the ground feeds them, so they bow
each step, existence is a heavy tow

dead cells, dead cells, they recycle
and redigest, till their breath stop
