OBSCENITY NUMBER TWO

When pigs are executed to be eaten

                                                           (at dinner tables)

there’s no necessity for a large caliber gun

                                                           (certainly not)

buy a .22 caliber at the gun store near the Bath county line

                                                           (it’s not much of a drive)

bullet into the skull and out the back is enough

                                                           (butchers hope so)

so all that is left is the jugular vein on the neck

                                                           (one good firm cut)

lay it there to bleed out in the floor for a little while

                                                           (it’s all a mess)

                                   Eat tonight at the dinner

                                   table; between their faces

                                   the way veins are cut is

                                   topic of the night. Pass the

                                   pork, break a wrist.

OBSCENITY NUMBER THREE

The bed sheets are the color of a butcher’s apron after a good day of work.

OBSCENITY NUMBER FOUR

I am having nightmares after dinner.

Pounding in the walls

they say it’s haunted sometimes

when the farmer and his wife

are home together

to babysit me. That is what

I am here for.

                       a red ghost falls from

                       the farmer’s wife

                       when I pass their door.

                       shrieking, the wife eats

                       all of him whole.
