Line Enjambent and Caesura

1.
Is there a tune more happy
than a daughter’s windchime laugh?  
A silence more crushing
than her rolling tear?  
Is there a breeze more cooling
than a son’s slumbered sigh?  
A thought more awesome
than the question that he asks?  
And is there a truer joy
when I am the clown?  
Shame
when I accuse and rage?  
Peace
when I pull up the sheet?  
Pride
when I strike the flint?  
I made these kids
and I make these kids.  
And they make me.


2.  Cannibalism by performance artist
In 1988 performance artist Rick Gibson
became the first person in British history
to legally perform an act of cannibalism
by eating a canapé of donated human tonsils
in Walthamstow High Street,
London, England.
A year later he publicly ate
a slice of legally purchased
human testicle
in Lewisham High Street,
London, England.
When he tried to eat another slice of
human testicle
in Vancouver, Canada in 1989,
he was stopped by the police.
However,
the charge was dropped
and he finally ate a testicle
hors d'oeuvre in Vancouver in 1989.

  1. Whoa... bro... you got the Cheng poem spot on. O_O Kudoes to thou!

    Also, I love the cannibalism poem. The man FINALLY getting to eat the testicle makes my life.
