(early draft... maybe)
Drugged and sacked
outside – like a seal pup
awaiting the cosh,
bludgeoned
bubbling
blue eyes
until virgin white
pristine fur
succumbs
relentlessly
to
bloody squeals: –
life-grabbing
breathlessness –
this is your fate,
as you watch
the super bowl
with corn chips
and cosy nights,
vicariously
immersed
in the frothing soap
dramas stealing
you outside
to be
bludgeoned,
buried
and
forgotten.
