“An unfiltered cigarette
smolders in your lips –
Bacon is”

Marry pastrami
Fuck bacon

She, Beefarina, would have liked to tell them that
behind Jerkyism, Ribism, behind all skillets and griddles
lurks a more smokey, greasy meat
and that the image of that meat
was a parade of people marching by
with clenched fists
and crunching identical strips
in unison
