Chick Filet

in den of war

a wary warden

warmed a chair

for Lizzie Borden

roping watchers

off with Cordon–

–blue

(it was)

& so was Lizzie

course of currents

fried her dizzy

but as for Borden’s

final wishes

Lizzy

axed

4 chicken dishes–

–dicing drums

& clipping wings

she undid truss

by swinging things…
