Observing Zoology

Intestines like pink maggots spilled
in descent through ribcracks and fractures.
Eyeballs bulged grotesquely, and popped
joints lay gaping in the walkway.

Near the concession stand the fat kid
stomps on an ant pile, reminding me of
when he threw ketchup packets at elephants,
and how the aorta squirts red, too.

Ok, it IS gross, but it's interesting gross. In fact, I think a bit more animal symbolism and an expansion of the idea might be in order. I liked very much teh interplay between teh first and second stanzas. The images are vivid and strong and I think get your point across pretty well.
