When viewed from space…

quill and ink icon

it is an irregularity
that attempts to exceed its bounds.
An organic poison
disrupting the natural health of its host.
It can be easily identified
(from a distance)
as an aberration in
natural order.
Two applications of radiation have proven effective,
temporarily,
at stymieing aggressive growth. Sometimes
it has shoes.
