poem Ever Consumed Goat, a poem about seeing in the Dominican Republic that when butcher shops sell goat, they have to show the head with fur on it so people know it is goat and not dog, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers

Ever Consumed Goat
Janet Kuypers
5/12/12
The first time I ever
consumed goat was here,
and here, the law is
that you have to
keep the head,
and the fur on the head,
when selling this
freshly butchered meat,
so the customer knows
it’s not
dog
