Time Travel Poem by Douglas Scotney
Time Travel
In the French for 'the chainsaw',
the feminine 'la tronçonneuse',
I see the capital punishment
of the Middle Ages,
'truncation'.
I think the chainsaw is more fittingly
a masculine thing.
It should be 'le tronçonneux'.
I hear from a seer
of the Middle Ages,
'If only our saws were like yours.'
