[ The Muse(s) ] Silenced Lambs

   
   
Dear Agent Starling,  
   
Do you really think that if you  
spell it out neatly in your detailed  
reports and files that those spring  
lambs will ever stop their screaming?  
   
Every monster you put behind bars  
   
or    
   
to death like our poor Buffalo Billy  
   
may put you rungs higher on the ladder  
in a world where all the men question  
your ability to do what they consider  
to be a man's job, but  
   
I'd doubt their hesitation to  
trample you on their way up  
grinding heels into your knuckles  
until you say, Uncle ...  
   
... or in this case, Uncle Sam  
   
You might save a few unfortunates    
along the way from having the their  
flesh flayed and sewn into a    
human costume, but are you truly  
comfortable in the suit you wear?  
   
Even now, I can see you  
squirming in the skin you are in  
with so many eyes fondling your  
fleshy parts, judging the  
width of your waspy waist  
dovetailed curvature of cleavage  
wondering what it would be like to have  
the monuments to their manhood  
erected on the tip of your  
southern drawling tongue  
   
I fear your need for their approval  
will consume you as much as you  
would devour their flesh in bed  
   
or perhaps up against a wall  
in a basement storage locker where  
there are no bagged and tagged  
mementos of the rude people I ate  
   
My advice is, if you are going to  
take anything into your mouth  
leave no trace evidence behind  
as I did; swallow it whole  
   
be deliberate with your dalliances  
leave nothing to chance or they  
just might accuse you of sleeping  
your way to the top ten most  
wanted employees of the F B  I  
   
Until we meet again, TTFN  
   
Yours always,
 
   
Hannibal
