Australia. Where even taking a shit apparently required an engineering department. Most every critter drops a log A pellet, patty, rope, or blob But somewhere underneath Down Under Evolution made us stop and wonder Wombat waddles through the scrub Built like nature’s armored sub Squats beside a rock and then Drops a tiny cube again No little mold No carving knife No factory press Just marsupial life And somehow deep inside that gut Round goes in... ...and square comes out SHITRIS! Stack it up and make it fit SHITRIS! Biological eight-bit shit Flat on the bottom Corners on top Nature learned geometry And forgot when to stop SHITRIS! Block by block by block Colon running software On an intestinal clock Near the end the plot gets strange That intestinal walls can change Some parts thicker, some parts stiff Some give more and some resist Contract, release Squeeze and slide Different forces side to side Soft parts yielding, stiff parts steer And suddenly the corners appear Not carved Not stamped Not squeezed through a square The shape gets built While it’s still in there Layer by layer Press by press A damp elastic Rectal success Seventeen percent Left to go And the bowel says: LET’S MAKE THIS SQUARE. SHITRIS! Stack it up and make it fit SHITRIS! Biological eight-bit shit Flat little faces Edges that lock A soft-tissue puzzle Coming out of a wombat SHITRIS! Nobody coded this Four-sided fecal physics With an evolutionary twist Thickness doubled in a zone Stiffness up to fourfold shown Alternating round the wall Different movement shapes it all Faster here And slower there Pressure working everywhere Matter firms as contractions pass Till geometry emerges from ass Actually... Before the ass. Important distinction. Scientists looked Scientists measured Scientists pulled on wombat intestines Because apparently Somebody had to They modeled the tissue They tested the strain They studied the corners Again and again And somewhere a grant application Had to contain the phrase: “Cubic feces.” Science is beautiful. Now squeeze left Hold right Stiff zone Soft side Contract Relax Shape that turd Four damn corners Absurd, absurd! LEVEL TWO! Squeeze left Hold right Compress that load Keep those little cubes In geometric mode LEVEL THREE! Fiddle screaming Bachi flies Pixel blocks are filling the sky Stack ’em high Don’t let ’em roll Wombat’s got a high-score goal SHITRIS! Stack it up and make it fit SHITRIS! Peer-reviewed cubic shit No square butthole No plastic mold Just differential stiffness Doing wonders untold SHITRIS! Flat face, corner, side An intestinal puzzle On a marsupial ride SHITRIS! Evolution hit start And turned digestive physics Into gastrointestinal art Block! Block! Block! Block! Block! Block! SHITRIS! High score. New block. New block.
