Day Three
X. OUTBACK ADVENTURES
1. Punching The Piglet
A black boar piglet accidentally wandered into camp.
I think he was as shocked as we were.
Do you know about your cousin, the one you respect?
Well out here, he punched the piglet.
Punched it almost to death. Punched it,
Whilst the dogs got into it.
I was going to tell him to stop
But it didn't seem like the right thing to do at the time.
The thing was, the poor cunt was still breathing.
Dust on his whiskers & one eye focused on the ground,
As though he couldn't drag his stare away
In fear of losing his grip, near death by now.
Bashed up inside, organs bleeding, bruised
& combining like mince.
He was too far gone, poor cunt.
I said to your cousin, "You're fucken cruel."
I took him down the river & drowned him.
I held him under by his sides 'til the life let go.
Until his bubbles broke the surface.
He was too broken inside to struggle much.
Poor cunt. Bet he wished he'd never come across us. |
