Watermelon

The stripes on a watermelon
look much like a brain.
The dark green impasto
resembles a vein.

So if the melon is truly
a throbbing thing of beauty
will the men of science find
that melons can read one's mind?

Welcome, watermelon,
to my mental library.
Make yourself at home among
the apocalyptic coterie.

Hot Dogs
by R. Beef Kazenzakis

A hot dog is whipped meat
the skin yields a snap.
The flavor unmistakable
the condiments eternal.

Ketchup, mustard,
ground onions and kraut,
pepperoncini, tomato,
all flavor the snout.

But inside the foodstuff
a hidden ink pen
single-shot .45 Magnum
hidden in the pen.

OH SHIIIIIIIT
