WITH A PINCH

Sell the cell of that cell_mate
for fifty cents, keep the change
Salt that cell
     It shrinks, shrivels,  it dies
witha pinch of a small pinchoof salt
     I can kill it
Forget about death row
Forget about capital* punishment
I I I I I I I I killed a plant
I even ate it.  Ate the eyes, the body.
I even believe I ate the soul of the plant
Bar me up Pig slaughter
     it shrinks, shrivels,  it dies
with a pinch of salt it tasted better.
