Pope
Jason Brennan
I tear a quote from a dead Pope’s sermon
And with a surgeon’s precision
Remove the excess fat.
The waste is bagged but not
Destroyed and the peculiar
Misshaped organ is laid on a slab
And studied for disease.
I carry this slop for days
In a plastic bag around
cinemas shops and parks,
Extracting oxygen out of the mouths
Of passers-by to charge
The fading pulse. To encourage
The chance of cross-infection,
I incubate. A month
Beside discarded peel broken
Parts and half finished
Jokes spawns a bulbous
Growth which I snip
And shape with secateurs
And nourish to fruition
With mad arithmetic
And ancient verse pumping through
Intravenous drips.
