Long Meat eating(a) Poems

"Backhand"



You have turned me
inside out, cut open
like a tennis ball
I used to beat backhand
along with the racket
hard against the garage wall

To make sense of it all
as a child, the grief stolen
all too swiftly and replaced...

"50 Words for Poe: Foxglove"



What goes through the mind 
of Winter, when you are Autumn
just past Spring
Sometimes you’d squeeze IT
in the hot spaces left-of-centre
with the remnants of the
Summers-In-Between

She liked to keep it real.

She’d escaped
and had...

I like Muslims,
Particularly Yemenis
And Pakistanis (in Yemen)—
With whom, as a university don,
I happened to live for six years. 

Arabic vowels render 
A Yemeni voice gruff.
So even a greeting would   probably
Sound rude to you.

When the storms came it was catastrophic
They came with cattle bashing hammers
Winds whipped up in ferocious tornado action
They came with the giant cyclops on their backs  
Angry because of the extra visual acuity missing
They...

Each animal was brought in and penned, and then the poor thing cornered 
Then; in any barbaric way they so choose the animals are then slaughtered

And are cut up, packed, sold...

Do you vote your mind
Or court your heart
Acquitting party faithful
Whose lies never grow apart

Do you vote for choice
Or for political extortion
Condemning any candidate
Who decries abortion

Do you vote for jobs
Or rally against illegitimate wars
Picketing the freedoms
Of...

Excuse me while I Puke
I hear screams of virgins watching 
their innocence being tortured. 
I see flowers hiding in the shadows 
covering their eyes with shame. 
I smell the putrid odors, 
fuming from the stench...

Fear, sheer fear, rules this once-great nation
  
Fear of missing out, fear that a 'virus' will sprout
  Fear of stating a belief, fear of catching some grief

Fear of normal give-and-take, fear of what...

Dedicated to my favourite poet - Shelley

If a tortoise, if a turtle
You are never going to hurtle
Witness how your limbs are placed
Splayed east to west, all carapaced
what if some meat-eating moron,
Jonesing for a snack to...

I just want to tell Alicia Silverstone,
in a meat-eating world, she is not alone.
Her television commercial is quite cool
where she is seen swimming naked in a pool.
Although we will never see the ad on TV,
