I stared into her belly through the eyes of a beast Made a toast to life and, commenced the feast We chewed up leafy greens, til our mouths were oozing foam Devoured man from meat, sucking marrow from the bone Washed it down with wine, vintage 1953 Lean back in our chairs suck our gums, and picked our teeth Gazing at her belly I watched, the unfolding of time Stricken by her both-eyed plunder there's no way that child was mine! Silence gripped the table til the, sobbing began And her consoling am I stole-ing from the wives of all the men Who glared down at their plates, faces flushing red The women all demanded, a platter with my head The knowledge in my head, fed the anger in my heart The throbbing in my hands, meant the choking soon would start I grabbed the throat of the nearest shrew, she was sitting to my right Someone brained me with a skillet, boom boom, out go the lights I was watching from above my body, face down on the floor They gathered round my carcass, gasping in horror "What do we do about the father?" someone cried I heard that without a body there can be no trial Their demeanor quickly changed, and they all got down to work That is how it was I who became, the final course!
