OFFCUT POPS 1 - SAWS

the history rings 
in a record tree
thats never cut down

still
go
round

silent argument
layered over
offered opinion
invisibly coexisting

safe from saws forever
on a 
peerage
croquet
grouse house
lawn

~

the found tumour
inside killers
bonesaw mind

filed in crime museum backroom
under 'satan gland'

and uncut antiheroes 
tread water
undiagnosed
in the riptide public pool

~

we-
kill 
to know

they-
learn braille
on
death row

crash helmets gas grill 
and juiced striptease law
saw down incendiary boughs

that
fuel our 
monkey fire
