I know the dinosaur. He is my friend. I never knew how close I was to him until I saw the end.
It came to me in a dream of a cancerous tar pit.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex arose and rolled out a red carpet.
Come join us he said, your time has come
This world is ready for its next kingdom.
I ran up to greet him, feeling exhausted and relieved
He welcomed me with open claws and open jaws. For the first time I didn’t fear his gnarling fangs.
Your teeth ain’t so bad, I said. Just look at the hell I raised.
We toasted to a job well done as we sank into the pit.
Together we laughed about all of it.
