Killer Poems: Hannibal Lecter- The Cage

Day in

Day out

I’m caged within

I hear them shout

They act like primates

They have no class

They are inmates

Showing their ass

They disgust me

They are a disease

Their evisceration would give me such glee

Especially to the sound of their pleas.

The guards treat me like a beast

A hurtful thing to say the least

I was not at fault when the nurse was rude

Her actions were the cause of what had ensued

She spit in my face and called me vile words

So of course her screams needed to be heard.

So now I’m in max security

A disgrace to my refined taste of purity

I understand cannibalism is a crime

And I understand I should do my time

I am abhorred

To here I must stick

But I am bored

This place makes me sick.

A beautiful smell

It does not cease

I meet an obvious childhood southern bell

Her name is Clarice

My neighbor hits her with his seed

He will soon beg and plead

But right now I hold out a handkerchief

On her face she gives no sign of relief

She rejects the gesture

She goes straight into her inquiry

I begin my lecture

I won’t let it be easy to question me

I comment on her perfume

An elegance my nostrils consume

I mock her accent

Pointing out its a false sense of ascent

She asks of Buffalo Bill

A man who eats garbage and swill

I give her hints

Once she begins to squint

Then I make a crude joke

My laughter is choked

She leaves irritated

Her mood I made exacerbated

Once again I’m all alone

My actions I continue to atone

But her presence has lit a fire in me

The light of the  sun and the radiance of her face I must once again see.
