Stick a Fork in It. It's Done. (rwp #27 - gulls like white hankerchiefs)
i put my wet hand in the freezer
and it came out stuck to a meaty
piece of memory i thought i cleared out
a long time ago.
the veins still visible through the bag
the hot pulse of my fingers
enough to thaw entire glaciers
like butter on a hot knife.
open it up. open it up and it's
preserved there for examination.
pick up your pick and your saw and
have at it.
what else have you got to do
with the rest of your day?
you can't make it hot again
just by looking at it.
and into the pan with the cursed
onions and garlic, to taste -
make it steam and burn all
over the place.
you'll consume the last of him
in a swarthy, ferocious session
and down he'll go without
a glimpse or an argument.
