Lunch Poem No. 6

This morning the chickens
squealing, cackling
amongst themselves --
was there a rift?
Will a hit be ordered?
Are these Mafia chickens?

Frances said: They're pissed.
They want to be let out.
She hopped the electric fence,
maneuvered a latch.
Last I saw she held one
not quite as a child
but a chicken.

An innocent, happy bird.
