Poetry, 1996
Ode to the Vegetarian
Once, screaming, squealing
Undead meat on my plate.
Red, raw, rump.
I was young
Moo ... Cockadoodle doo ...
She put out with pasts,
Writhing, wriggling
Sniffing vaginas and chewing boots
My dog enjoyed it too.
I sprinkled beef and blood on this parmesan plate
Of dried vomit
Today,
'I hear your complaints, but also the noise of your destruction,
Lentil Head', a man says.
Grainy, rainy, grain ...
A doctor's recipe.
'Pasta and chick pea surprise,
Mmm ... Delicious I say
I eat.
Slide, slippery, sluggish, sloth
My mouth belly dances in the oil from the grate.
I stuff strips of something into my ..
But wait no stop! - There's oil,
There is oil.
'This is not a vegetarian lubricant', I scream.
Too late,
I've engorged, I explode ...
I cover all with my intestinal delight and annoying speeches about
The R.S.P.C.A.
It falls on empty plates and ears.
Someone's jelly giggles.
I sit down.
I stare at my insides on the table, and then at the waitresses glands
And I remember.
Once,
Lovingly, but without affection, 'Pig'
The ham, the meat,
The hot beef injection ...
And I settle for sex instead.
