The Goatherd's Taverna at Psili Ammos Beach, Patmos, 1994


His down-home menu advertised such intriguing
Come-ons as Fried Papers and Chicken Village 
And a tantalizing concoction called Mountain Coat Special

Which I assure you, we would’ve tried 
On the spot had our jaws not 
Recoiled at the sight
 
Of sautéed satyr droppings lodged 
In one of those profusely-infused-with-scents-
Of-wild-oregano-and-mint gamy chicken 
 
Gizzards indiscriminatingly spread-
Eagled a bit much too 
Tastelessly on our plate.
