if they were to
strap me down
upon the concrete bed
aside the
polished steel
of the
Dairy Queen
Machine
modified just for me
with the carnival calliope
and that special
polyethylene
hose
the "new car smell"
threaded
with such care
from the
spigot
to
my
gullet
would i bear it well?
would i fight back
when they threw the switch
and the warm
slop
began to
flow?
i’ve heard
they sometimes
fill these machines with
medical waste
but
this tastes
different
today
oh sure
i might struggle
even as
my abdomen distends
my fibres unravel
the tar
seeps out from me
and wets
my
spine
i might
risk
everything
anything
for
a second chance
i might
but then
again
i haven’t
before
so why start now?
