Leaping from a Tome
Save Me the Cannibal Dance

Peter Magliocco

How on earth,
With the pinioned gaze
Of fate watching us,
Do we get anything done
In this dystopic world?
Life is just an act of the gods
She said: “a divertimento”
Before the grand rerun of death.
Hell, give me the facts again,
I tell her. Give me something
To remember life by if,
Like my mother, I get stuck
In a coma sometime near
The end of my lifetime channel.
Save me the cannibal dance
Before all the good rhythm leaves.
Let my unconsciousness be
Filled with loving visions
Of child-like splendor ...
Let’s eat one another
Like we’re gingerbread –
Eternally sweet & nourishing,
One with the foodstuff of our desire;
To awake again, fully fed,
Before tripping over banana peels
On that slippery dance floor
Where old skeletons dance.
