Human Killer Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Human killer

Close eyes
-and think of
-a canvas in front
-for painting...
-Be artist, take brush.

A woman in kitchen
-flowers on apron
-colourful, a garden.

A chicken on counter
-is cleaned of feathers
-tied are the pinkish legs;
-neck is there without head.

Cutting board is of wood
-many knives are for cook
-whose victim sits by book…

Now, stop, take a leave
-travel with Bruce
- (become him!)

Computer's CPU and TV
-little wine, share, drink,
-with victim; a would-be.

Find ripe time to sleep
-with the gay, or queer.

Draw lines on the board
-compare and juxtapose
-the kitchen and woman
-with Bruce sharpening
-his varied many knives;
- (likes using camera…)

He, too, is an artist
-in love with memories;
-is hoarding, collections
-items of his victims!

Now, put on judges' gown
-sit in court and look on
-at juries, defender, culprit…

Become me, an ember…
-on the head white ashes…
-and inside thick fire…
- (keeps burning…)

Look at dogs on the show;
-their owners, selfishly
-employ and purchase
-trainers, groomers…

The poor pets are exposed
-on huge screen;
-brainwash, advertise for prize!

Now, return to kitchen
-with chicken and stare;
-look deep in every part
-cut by the silver knife
- (Become a magician…)

Hold kerchief, black hat
-deliver dove, pigeon
-with Bruce's victims
-replacing the chicken…

Empty urn, jar or piggy bank
-of the compiled questions:
- "What is what? "
- "Who is right? "

Now, fly, be a witch
-riding on a broom, a stick
-in jungles and forests
- (see trees on fires…)

And question and question
-while thinking on, about:
- "Hate being human! ! ! "
