TRAGIC Poem: “To Airfry a Crab”, by Thomas Page

A body putrefied is more preferable than
a body airfried because butter and old bay on
a body testified to be better when cooked live because
a body fished from the chesapeake bay is said to be
a body cursed if you humanely kill before throwing
a body destined to float a vat of boiling water with
a body linked to generations of kin all desiring
a body empowered to destroy itself upon its death.
