in an article
about a voter proposition
asking that chickens
get “cushier” lives of
still being crammed
together, but
without cages,
a highlighted farmer
refers to his place as
“Chicken Disneyland”
because of the toys
he has started to hang
for them to play with
how sweet,
how kind,
it must be
memories of
Disneyland
must be flashing
through your head
the cool sights
the fun sounds
all of the things to enjoy
the way your children
got so excited as
they stood in line
for Big Thunder Mountain
the screams of joy,
hands in the air
oh, the smiles
until the climax of
the ride’s end,
the magic captured
forever for you on film,
as the ride concludes,
decapitating each one
a small price to pay,
you remind yourself,
for the joy on their faces
you are glad you didn’t
ruin their day
by revealing
the ending's
final twist
the ending's
final twist
you’d go back,
you insist,
if only you had more kids
to send on the rides
