Free Verse: The Cut Up
By John Hawkins
Poem about albatrisses and apple popcorn stew, and places ypu run to when the sword of Damocles...
::::::::
arbitrary abattoir
beef stock stew
Dali in my underwear
cut up the cut-ups
spare no ribs
throw another Barbie on the barbie
opium for Oppenheimer
boil down the boo birds
saute the butterflies in oil
we don't want any
chip on the shoulder chops
beef mince no words
chicken co*k of the walk stock
I am I am I am I am said the lamb
and then they cut his throat
Damn!
