Believe it or not, this poem, written by Renee Good years who (who at the time was Renee Macklin), won an award because it bashed bibles, Christians and contained the usual left wing hate and rehtric. I’m actually surprised this “awarding winning poem” hasn’t been scrubbed from the ‘net…The title of the poem is “On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs”.
i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores
(mashed them in plastic trash bags with an acidic himalayan salt lamp—
the post-baptism bibles, the ones plucked from street corners from the meaty hands of zealots, the dumbed-down, easy-to-read, parasitic kind):
remember more the slick rubber smell of high gloss biology textbook pictures; they burned the hairs inside my nostrils,
& salt & ink that rubbed off on my palms.
