Let's Eat!

Missing image


Hey Mom, what’s for dinner?

Mighty orang-utan steaks?
Like eating your own cousin
in a superfluous cannibalistic eradication
of discriminative ignorance
(skin scorched, hands severed, turn the other cheek)
seeped in investigational
                    pharmaceutical irreverence

Or maybe even angry bullfrogs,
their little bodies chopped mercilessly in half
in a bittersweet parody of French delicacy
served at your discretion in a bubbly heap
of spacial distortions
          and their own bloody death froth

Sow the seeds of stupendous perversity,
oh ye vampiric pirates of a foreign plane of existence
with your blasphemous tongues on fire
lock it down deep in denial,
and repress this interfamilial mass murder -
flutter your blind eyelids
                  and ignore it like gypsy skirts in the breeze

Are you contemplating more desecration?
More explicit slaughter and plunder?
Your gun flowering with deadly spittle,
in claustrophobic charnel houses,
blood flowing in crimson rivers
                splashing our feet but not our anaemic hearts

Am I being too explicit
for your fine sentimentalities?
Admonish me, then, but oh…
how about a nice glass of
Chardonnay to wash it all down?

                              No wonder I am an insomniac...

    I am absolutely floored by the images that are in my head. Vegetarianism sounds pretty good after the slaughtered bloody pictures that I now see. Wonderful metaphors compliments the visuals. Excellent writing and I wish you much luck in the contest. God Bless, Jo-Ann
