Chicken
cooked in its own fat,
Although
delicious,
Is
insidiously in the long run a booby trap
Designed
to control population growth
By
eventually choking off the arterial gap
By means
of plaque or sludge or both
As
commonly found in clogged pipes
Accustomed
to prolonged waste oil traffic
And such
insoluble types
No matter
how powerful the magic
Of witch
doctors and medicine men
Who
are no better than mechanics
At
replacing clogged pipes with new ones,
Cannibalized
or otherwise.
