“He slipped his hand and ran away!
He hadnt gone a yard whenBang!
With open jaws, a lion sprang,
And hungrily began to eat
The boy: beginning at his feet.”

“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
