Layered in viscous, yellowing fats Dashed with rinds, spiced meats from vats Bubbling rennet and bulging crust Into the crude wood fire oven is thrust The scorching aroma of hot pepperoni With dough kneaded lovingly by a man named Tony The scent of grated parmesan reminds me of puke Don’t question the quality or your pie he’ll rebuke Hot box . . . Deep pan . . . With the lot . . . We goin’ h.a.m. Slavishly devouring the extra thick crust Slopping my chin with hot, spurting sauce Fold the golden wedge - insert it in my maw Masticating cheese is my only fatal flaw Platters o’ splatter ingested with gusto Various meats, spices, and pesto Anchovies and garlic hot on my breath Cramming my face ‘til there’s nothing left (lead: Symphonies of thick crust) . . . Margherita . . . Marinara . . . . . . Capricciosa . . . Napoletana . . . . . . Artichoke . . . Antipasto . . . . . . Jalapeneo . . . Oregano . . . Flushed and sweating from the spice Blistering palate from boiling cheese Slave to the slice . . . Shrivelled clumps of flesh I eat Stuffing my face, yes I’m quite A disgrace in the pizzeria This psychedelic, molten culinary disc Is a silent partner in my meatlover’s tryst An unhealthy affair, in a round-about way Leads to cravings for deep dish every day . . . Fallen fragments are picked from the box Ambiguous pieces are gathered to scoff Greasy fingers smoosh the crumbly mush Chased down with a beaker of carbonated slush

Callous band of thieves digging up the past Disinterred, detuned, dirty, and done fast Tippled tomb raiders inhale putrescent riffs Infringe the body (of work) - corrupting aural grift Reaping the spoils of another’s toil We ransack a plot of idealogical gold Compact urns contain artistic wealth Greater than we can muster, so we steal them in stealth Compromised coffins can never gather dust As revivalist vultures pick and tear at the husk Fagin-like filchers strip the carcass bare We’re the tools of this tirade, but we don’t seem to care With pedant romanticism we’re enchanting the lugubrious Though there lies a gaping schism Between the real and the unscrupulous And though our tainted wares are given out as gifts Their underlying worth is purely counterfeit Intellectual property is not disposed of properly This underground trade - a poor man’s monopoly Common class crooks conducting artful robbery Carried out in plain sight, and done rather sloppily (lead: Raptured in fraudulence) “Looting obliterates the memory of the ancient world and turns its highest artistic creations into decorations, adornments on a shelf, divorced from historical context and ultimately from all meaning” Postmortem keepsakes from crypts we exhume Redress, rearrange, and shabbily costume . . . Oeuvre adorned in stolen jewels Grave concerns for nostalgic fools . . . (lead: Decease & desist) We galavant around in this deceased estate Riffling through repertoire with morbid musical urges to sate But never will attain that score for which we strive They come back from the dead to eat us alive . . . (lead: Bill [im]posters will be prosecuted)
