WORTH

shuttled through the tunnels

like so much spoiled meat

snuffling and a’snarling

this beast upon two feet

Minotaurian presence

half-man, the body shared

double the size of mere mortals

if anyone dared care

he had no strings to tie him down

or keep him on the path

this city was a festering sore

‘twas dim, and dank, and daft

it was another of their tests

the smarmy, grim cabal

gave no twine or map, no lights down here

as he felt along tepid tiled walls

cast about into the depths

naught much more than thoughts

how it was he got this far

how much he had lost

find his way somehow, he would

these subways built to last

also ran quite systematic

he’d be out before much time had passed
