this poem contains material unsuitable for children
an outburst of remorse after the abuse of a divine vegetable
(a kind of fable)

your famous cucumber exiled from the salad
for entering your body through the wrong lips
denied the opportunity
to give up its nourishment
and holy coolness
your famous cucumber abandoned
sacrificed for lust discarded
left to shrivel like my cock when it was over
too contaminated now for mouths
previously filled with sweating genitalia
held at arm's length
dropped from a weak grasp
between thumb and forefinger
it lies in garbage sullied
your famous cucumber haunts this vegetable feast
and all salads in this moment are diminished
(hide the courgettes)
