Toasted Soup
Empty dog takes a swig
chokes it out again
jaws ajar without his bit
Blot out this episode
when you tell it, dear
it doesn't flatter anyone of us
laundry piles and leans
carpet musty with dust feuds
lose its reason to beat
home breaks like a heart
---Julia, 7/12/2011
The feud began with a toast
Pony took a long swig from the bottle
his vice made him angry like an unruly za
Xi La enticed Flan with a free bite on her neck
Flan moaned like a cat in heat
Flan chewed into Pony's ass
like he was a bowl of dog meat soup
Xi La hid in the coop
but she left the door ajar
Pony didn't quit at first blood
Flan's heart broke like a jar
when she saw Xi La toasted near the rooster
The blot on the anvil was unruly
Their feud hied to the bitter end
---William James, 7/12/2011
