Panda meat (Free verse) by horus8
A dirty deisel truck backs up
down an MSG choked alley Somewhere
between a steaming man hole, and
a bum taking a shit in a crate.
An old man smoking a long pipe
emerges from the back of a restaurant
lit up in creepy orange neon "Fuk U Too"
He hands an envelope to the driver.
The toothless man grins, and jumps
out of the vehicle, walks around to
the back sliding door, and opens it
to reveal a bamboo cage with two baby pandas.
The driver takes out the cage and hands it
to the old chinese man with the pipe, and
says, "Those were the last two for a while,
they're hard to come by you know?"
"Yes, yes I know snickers Mr. Fuk U Too, as
he billows rank opium smoke out of one flaring nostril
Smiling and shaking his head, he grabs the cage and mutters,
"But wait until you taste this soup..."
