Green leaf bilious bastard vegetable <br />Picked green whole from the earth <br />Broken chopped and boiled <br />Lathered with a butter to kill the taste <br />Lie in my stomach like some corpse <br />To mix with gastric juice <br />To be blown out my ass, at a later date <br />Like a canon from a ancient ship <br />To have other human beings <br />Treat me like some leper <br />Able to clear a bar room, with a single explosion <br /> <br />Repost Series 2006<br /><br />allan James saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/speech-to-a-cabbage-2/
