Pigeon v TheSmokin'ButtDildo
i crawled home
and opened my door i seen a sight
i'd not seen before
hundred bodies (or more)
heaped in the porch
piled high (up)on the kitchen floor
stone cold dead
i'd be guessin' ( y'all )
i had experience in these matters
and then a voice
clatter out the haze/(morn) like a street car
in Pittsburgh dawn
! good day to you fiend
well i'm not standin
for that kinda foolery
?who's the hell's are you's i bawl
inchainly
in triple apostrophe
me? ! i'm The SilentButtDeadly
(he reply)
TheSmokin'ButtDildo
well quick as sprat
outta sprat jar
i signify the situation
i ask who y'are
not
whadd'ya smoke for purposes of revelation
my brain was workin' overtime
he wasn't
over time he wasn't
quick as sprog
outta test tube
i sposed he'd been in the nest with my bird
he had gills writ
all over his os
danglin' bits of bird wattle daubed
i fulminated
he fumigated
our paths were destined to rhyme
? do you recognise her
he enquire later
with an air of menace
mmm legs tied together
nothin' strange there
visage bear pained expression
again
a face worse than death at best of times
now death itself has spoke(n)
one space bar too many
one full stop too soon
shit i muse what ! a mess
i know my bird.
i crawl over bodies
to gently stroke her ringed neck
old habits die hard.
i unclip the ring
slip it into her pocket
vermin !
( declare The SBD )
!damn he know everythin' about her
butt ?! how
?y'mean how? she fly off her mortal coil
how did this happen
yeah
well i'm afraid
your bird is responsible for this tragedy
he murmur
low
she appear to be guilty
guilty of fatricide
so he fill me in :
fatricide be when fat pigeon
kill fat pigeon / fatpigeonkillfatpigeon
ears deceivin'
eyes a-streamin', throat a-burnin'
body convulsin'
butt
before i can get too carried away
he is interjectin' :
officially
it goes down as homingcide
'death by homing pigeon' !
?butt / why?
your bird was a known informer ,
she led them all into a trap.
!visions i'm havin'
of my traplullin'stoolpigeon
shoppin' her friends
information fuktrippin'
off her tongue
like water off a dove's back
so that's why they called her ! 'Nark'
! no
'nark' be also short for narkotiks
i learn about that fateful day
in the hood,
pigeons linin' rooftops,
kids queuin' on ladders
awaitin' supplies.
my double-dealin' bird. / double-dealin' bird
she nark friends into perm(anent) sleep
then, with gentle iro(ny),
do (the) same to herself.
that night, they talk down the hood:
pigeons
and a tale/tail of mass cooeycide
i anaesthetise me with licker,
i cry me to sleep. / cry me to sleep
no shame there.
