Drawn And Quartered, Subdivided, Crucified Poem by Saiom Shriver

Drawn And Quartered, Subdivided, Crucified



A Carolina tub full of pigs' ears..
but they can no longer hear
A deli full of cows' tongues
..but they can no longer taste or speak
A Kentucky diner full of chickens' wings
..but they can no longer fly
A French tray of ortolans
but they can no longer sing
An African bowl full of calf brains
but they can no longer think
A Japanese tray of sharks' fins
but they can no longer swim
The tureen of oxtail soup..
but the bull can't swish his tail
And the Chinese restaurant's
plate of eel
Mercifully they can
no longer feel
