Body, self, and puppet held a small committee meeting.
Body chaired; self obsessed; puppet served as secretary.
The minutes of the meeting were written in the shorthand
Chicken-scratch that a speculative fiction writer might
Invent to pretend the poetry of aliens, elves,
Or angels. Outside the window of the soul seemed a world.
Inside, it was too dark to breathe. Translated, the motion
The committee passed appears to be an observation,
To wit: "Mainly as a result of the misconception
That the chicken had died, this piece outraged the audience."
