my butcher fred

my butcher, fred,

has replace my bartender pete.

I see him every other day
for

some ribs, or crab cakes,
a few pounds

of ground sirloin
or a slab

of beef.
something about a grizzled
unshaven man
in a blood

splattered
apron
holding a big knife
that makes

him seem smart
and wise.
