Vignettes

American Beauty

The knife was found
Planted in the heart

Of the rose bed.

.

gay blade

In the heart
Of the heart of the country,

Whoever sings

The body electric
Is in for a shock.

.

fodder

From the back of the class,
Sent to the front

By his drill instructor--
As in animal

Prodder.

.

not so unlikely bedtime story

All the world over, rosy-cheeked
Kids like you

Are being put to sleep;
In the abattoir,

Pallid vegetarian butchers
Count sheep.
