First time I ate pork
was on a beach, 1991
Peak's Hotel
was pink and on the beach, my god
what was her name? who snuck me out of my hotel room
took me to the oven
where her grandpa was baking
gray meat she pulled apart
and i couldn't explain to my parents
the grease or the taste
of something so forbidden especially
at such a young age.


I saw god through the ocean waves, and he shook his finger, yes siree he did
but perhaps that was a seagull or an egret

and egret, an egret, an egret.
(Say it thrice and you will understand what I mean).
