Mob

Aristocrats enjoy execution 
so long as the guillotine is gilded.

The blades whirled by good smiths 
charging a fortune in pardons for billion-dollar alloys 
to crack the spine well  
encourage years of craft. 
Some dip theirs in caviar 
others oil with truffles or limited cologne. 
Some are engraved  
with tiny verse 
so the flesh shaved 
is instantly impressed 
with a truth 
or something.

It doesn’t make much goddamn  
sense to me 
and anyway 
I'm just here for the blood.
