Moving thru Islamic State

Fritz Hamilton

Moving thru Islamic State, I
trip over some severed heads/ I
pick one up by a hair, &

Just as I thought it’s
Jesoo looking chagrinned &
horrified/ what’s

the matter? I ask, he
spits it out with his
blood & teeth/ “I’m nothing but a

severed head, &
you ask me what’s the matter?”
“Well, you’re also some blood &

alienated teeth. That’s part of
your sick equation; so of course I
ask, what’s the matter?”

“What would be the matter with
you if somebody had kicked your
teeth & mouth in?”

“That would piss me off.”
“Okay then I’m pissed off.”
“So what are you going to do about it?”

“I don’t know.”
“You could call the cops.”
“Then what? People usually call the cops on

me.”
“Well, the tables have been turned.”
“What tables? The cops won’t listen to me.”

“They will if you have a disputed table. Give it a
try. Grab somebody’s table & try to run off with it.”

“& when the cops are about to catch me, turn that
table & catch a cop in the mouth with it.”

“You fool! You’ll go to prison.”

“There are tables in prison too.I can turn them.
Nobody will tangle with me when they see how I
turn the tables.”

“Cool!”

“One reason they won’t tangle with me is because I’m
not going to do what I have to do to go to prison.”

“Because you’re a coward.”

“No,because I’m not stupid.”

“That’s debatable.”

“So go ahead & debate. I’m still not going to do the things
that would get me in prison.”

“So you’re a chicken. You’ve already done the things to
get you in the chicken coop.”

“The only way I’m getting in the chicken coop is if I want
some eggs.”

“All right, be an egghead.”

“I’m not getting in the chicken coop because I’m an egghead.”

“Then how are you going to get any eggs?”

“If I have to, I’ll eat peanut butter.”

“On the eggs?”

“No, forget about the eggs. I’ll just eat peanut butter.”

“What about the jelly?”

“I’ll just eat peanut butter.”

“Out of the can or on toast.”

“On toast, you idiot!”

“Then you might as well have the jelly too.”

“Okay, I’ll have the jelly too.”

“Why? At first you only wanted peanut butter.”

“While you’re at it, get me some Sweet’n’low.”

“Sweet chariot. Come’n for to carry - “

“Stop that.”
