Two Roads Poem by Saiom Shriver

Two Roads



1. How to kill a mammal

First shoot him or club him in
the head. You might need several
men to restrain him as he fights
for life.

Next decapitate him.
Then dehoove him.
Then skin him.
(If he is a goose, take 3 hours
to pluck out his feathers.)
Then subdivide him.
Then freeze him.
Then transport his cadaver,
in another freezing compartment
truck.

Then freeze his corpse pieces in the warehouse.

Further subdivide him
at the grocery store meat department.


Take him home.
Then roast his flesh.


or
2. Buy a peach and peel it.
