SPAM

This one goes out to all the fake profile(s) past, present, & future to ever send me an invite:


SPAM

Blue can of steel
what promise do you hold?
salt flesh so ripe

Can of metal, slick
soft center, so cool, moistening
I yearn for your salt


Twist, pull the sharp lid
Jerks and cuts me deeply but
Spam, aaah, my poultice.


silent, former pig
one communal awareness
myriad pink bricks


you wait to feed me
stoic vigil on the shelf
ah my vibrant pink


jelly for mortar
seven hundred tins and more
i build a Spam house


my friend pork shoulder
I return to you. this time
i've brought mayonnaise


above all others
porcine treat without equal
there is but one Spam


clad in metal, proud
no mere salt-curing for you
you are not bacon


and who dares mock Spam?
you? you? you are not worthy
of one rich pink fleck


Grotesque pinkish mass
In a blue can on a shelf
Quivering alone


Like some spongy rock
A granite, my piece of Spam
In sunlight on my plate


Oh Argentina!
Your little tin of meat soars
Above the pampas


The color of Spam
is natural as the sky:
A block of sunrise


Little slab of meat
In a wash of clear jelly
Now I heat the pan


Oh tin of pink meat
I ponder what you may be:
Snout or ear or feet?


In the cool morning
I fry up a slab of Spam
A dog barks next door


Pink tender morsel
Glistening with salty gel
What the hell is it?


Ears, snouts, and innards,
A homogenous mass
Pass another slice


Cube of cold pinkness
Yellow specks of porcine fat
Give me a spork please


Old man seeks doctor
"I eat Spam daily", he says.
Angioplasty


Highly unnatural
The tortured shape of this "food"
A small pink coffin


Slicing your sweet self
Salivating in suspense
Sizzle, sizzle..Spam


Pink beefy temptress
I can no longer remain
Vegetarian
