When I was seventeen, a man in Dakar Station
Men's Room (I couldn't read the signs) said to me:
You're a real ball cutter.I thought about that
For months and finally decided
He was right. Once I knew that was my thing,
Or whatever we would have said in those days
I began to perfect my methods. Until then
I had never thought of trophies. Preservation
Was at first a problem: pickling worked
But was a lot of trouble. Freezing
Proved to be the answer. I had to buy
A second freezer just last year; the first
Was filled with rows and rows of
Pink and purple lumps encased in Saran Wrap.
I have more subjects then I can handle,
But only volunteers. Its an art like hypnosis
Which cannot be imposed on the unwilling victim.
If you desire furhter information about the process and
The benefits, please drop in any night from nine to twelve.
My place is east of Third on Fifty-sixth.
You'll know it by the three gold ones over the door.
