Blood Sport by Glenn Armstrong


In the garage I whet my knife
For the feast of blood it will drink.
Then I rinse my face in the kitchen sink
And prepare to snuff a random life.
I walk the streets seeking strife,
And search for a crippled weak link.
The sun goes down on the collective stink
Of humanity wearing the face of my wife.

The old man with the slight limp,
The young girl with the mini-skirt . . .
Which one will be the lucky simp
To take the blade between the breast
And shudder like a cardiac arrest
While I clean my knife on a bloody t-shirt?
