I am ripe full swollen
You examine my body where it has fallen
You have a habit to feed and this fruit
Seems like the sweetest poison

I am supine passive silent
I long to be used in the way I was meant
Obscene fertility in casual beauty
My blood spilled My seeds spread

This is the natural way
I exist for you to evaluate
Or shat out or systematically bred
Or carefully preserved but dead

“My God,” I hear your voice “such an unusual specimen”
I am gutted taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
“My God,” I hear your voice “such an unusual specimen”
I am gutted taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again

Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again I am supine passive silent
 
I’ve earned my place among men of science
My likeness described by poets and painters
The jewel of your collection Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again Such an unusual specimen
Gutted stuffed mended and gutted again
To those of independent taste
The height of fashion, perfection Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
Taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again “My God,” I hear your voice “such an unusual specimen”
I am gutted taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
“My God,” I hear your voice “such an unusual specimen”
I am gutted taxidermy-stuffed mended gutted again
I am supine passive silent
I’ve earned my place among men of science
My likeness described by poets and painters
The jewel of your collection

Such an unusual specimen
Gutted stuffed mended and gutted again
To those of independent taste
The height of fashion, perfection
