Metalsom, by Steve Talbert
METALSOM
It’s a brass torso
Details riveted and
Attached baffles
Giving a burnt patina,
Extruding, somewhat painful wire
Around ribs’, ‘n exhibited inducement
To reveal full customer list;
Plus, source identities of all involved
In unnamed substance distribution.
After the chain sawing of neck and legs-
Remains tossed over the freeway
To horrified passing traffic;
A clear message to stay out of “our zone”
In order to live longer.
Thus, this unknown trunk wired-
In ghastly procedure’s shown
As jerky-like remains
Sans hot sauce….
Yes Yes Yes
I get the message loud and clear!
