Humanity Stew

We're all ingredients in the humanity stew
The sad clowns
The prescription abusers
The chickens running around without their heads

This dish can never be out done
It's killing me
Ashes from Pompeii
The braces of teenage heart throbs

Bloody black and blues from abusive relationships
Fill the pots and pans
A homemade meal per say 
Chain linked sausage fences 

Add some Epsom salt
Some beef chuck
Giblets
And Simonides of Ceos

Daphoenus bones 
A dentist and a retainer
Cornets, pirouettes and percocets
Awkward magazine subscriptions

You can buy the cookbook in all its opacity 
See it in the Intrepid Museum 
There is work to be done on Mount Olympus
Therefore we should go see a movie at the drive in
