Women belong in the kitchen,
where men don their white coats
blue veins wrap
around a slender finger,
bake at 350 for 20 minutes
marinate in wine overnight
for best results
their dresses are discarded
just in time for the appetizers;
hand of housewife,
heart of whore
both Served on porcelain platters
swirling around the room
the merry-go-round won’t stop
until suppertime ends,
the main course consists of
breast meat, thighs, & legs
with filthy lips slicked in sauce
men pick their teeth with the bones
crying out for seconds,
before the first one is gone
