FRANK PERDUE'S PET CHICK

 

Years ago when he was six
his father killed his
  wee pet chick.
Did pain make him
  objectifier
who now saw chicks
as merely friars?
.. chicks whose declawed
legs are put to fire?
chicks for nonFranciscan
friars?

An innocent boy.. of age six..
God! now undo the pain.

Wingless birds.. now
Spirit fliers.

 

 

TYPEWRITERS OF THE COMPASSIONATE

 

 

The typewriters of workers of compassion
are more melodious than Mozart
for greater than the love of art
is the art of the heart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

(based on an interview
Perdue gave to the Diamondback
at the University of Maryland,
which university it is said
began at that time after
millions of dollars
in contributions from Perdue a course
in how to raise and slaughter
one's own rabbit.)(Perdue
wanted to market rabbit meat)
(The short line railroads
to the Eastern Maryland shore
maintained by the State..
constitutional lawyers consider
an illegal support of the
chicken slaughter industry.)
