Album: Olidous Operettas (2007)

Expeditious Evisceratory Mishap

Roughly eviscerating the festering carcass
Blood-mprints of innards splashed on my bib
While ripping organs from their inanimate host
I puncture my hand on a broken rib
Bone splinters gouge-spurt blood everywhere
Corpse wounds prosector-I seek medical care
Forensic evidence compromised-cruor and blood wed
Hazards of necropsy-Commingling with the dead

[Solo: disastrous cadaveric misadventure]

The fenzied tempo of the dissection increases
I deign to sustain nicks, cuts, and scrapes
Two hours per autopsy, three procedures a day
My workload demands such a breakneck pace
Latex rubber gloves-a false security
Contamination stings-the kiss of virulency
Maggot-riddled carcass-den of putrefaction
Bisected rancid corpse-tub of hopping infection
