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.
