This is dark, disturbing, and incredibly provocative poetry.
What strikes me most is the way you weave grotesque imagery with dark humor and social commentary.
The contrast between an ordinary family setting, a restaurant menu, and the horrifying act of revenge makes the piece even more unsettling.
The ending, particularly the play on the discounted menu, is chillingly clever. Beneath its shock value, I sense a deeper statement about objectification, entitlement, and the consequences of treating another human being as something to be consumed rather than respected.
A bold and unforgettable piece

I always thought that if I went to the U.S. One of the first things I\'d do is go to a Diner. Seen them in many films over the Years. See if Meg Ryans there .
Was it \'Theatre of Blood\' where our friend Vincent Price made a meal containing a Man\'s Dog: And he ate it unawares.
Nice one.

Very clever Tristan. I agree with the message too. I admit I had to look up the word \'patibulum\' but I\'m glad I did.

Animals we are although we deny it, hunger and sex what fills the belly. This in technicolor and as a worker we sell ourselves, we are all prostitutes to our needs be it money, sex, power. Well written

Nicely written. Your poem reflects on the unsettling nature of a man who, despite engaging in a horrific act, maintains a facade of normalcy by joking with his family and ordering food.

Genuinely a wonderful and a bit enigmatic piece of work evoking diverse complex feelings and sensations, that are deep inside... blended with marvellous rhythmic and general poetic values. A fave, my friend!

This about Halloween? Nah, more to it than that! \"Get out the vote, it’s bound to change everything\". Perfect irony and cynicism.

I used to love the dark as a kid.
During summer months, you couldn\'t walk down the street without having to talk to every neighbour.
Come autumn, they stayed indoors. lol

Zena warrior princess, what that girl could do with a sword.
Actually, nobody gave a shit about her sword, only how she got hormones jumping.
Now we have to inject hormone baked beans just to lick her shield.
The world has created a monster, the jenie nearly came out of the bottle, but because the bottle identified as transtree, the jenie jumped straight back into the fable it came out off, wondering what the fuck humans had become.

There’s a ferocious satirical engine here, using repetition, deliberately mangled logic, and the obsessive return to “masculinity” to expose how fragile manhood becomes when it has to be constantly policed through fear, insults, and demands for conformity. “we’ll inject you up with testosterone, / instill fear you’ll be emasculated” is the keeper for me, because it reveals the coercion beneath all the bluster: the supposed defense of masculinity becomes a threat to men themselves, forcing them to perform the very identity they’re told should come naturally.

A wonderful write in a world that thinks that equality of rights equals equality of the physical and emotional. Nature made male and female different for a reason and who are we to change that. Viva la differance. Well penned my friend
