THE FOAM

by Robbie Q Telfer

The Foam seeped up through the floorboards

Soon the building would be consumed

Soon there’d be no need for soons

The Foam does not own a wristwatch

Science created the Foam

To kill Germans

The Foam cares nothing for Science

It will kill Germans eventually

But only because

The Foam is relentless

If the Foam were the subject

Of a movie about the Foam

Then the poster of that movie

Would say “The Foam” in big bleedy letters

With “The” written tiny and

“Foam” written in all capitals

“F” actually being the smallest letter

And “M” the largest

And there’d be a picture of the Foam

Behind “The Foam” and

It would be absorbing a motorcycle

While an attractive woman screams

And a man in a leather jacket

Attempts to stab the Foam with a switchblade

But the Foam is not a movie

The Foam is real, so please be serious

Police, marines, urban street gangs

All try to stop the Foam

They uselessly fire bullets into the Foam

But it is useless, as was mentioned earlier,

The Foam consumes all into its sudsy maw

A child playing

Picks up the Foam

Puts it on his face

And pretends to be Santa

The Foam spares him

He grows to be president

Of everything

In the post-Foam age

The Foam is only human

Man prevails over the Foam

Thirty years after its conception

And we will all succeed

Pretending to be Santa
