The Subway Piranhas -- Edwin Morgan

Guest poem sent in by Vikram Doctor
(Poem #304) The Subway Piranhas
  Did anyone tell you
  that in each subway train
  there is one special seat
  with a small hole in it
  and underneath the seat
  is a tank of piranha-fish
  which have not been fed
  for quite some time.
  The fish become quite agitated
  by the shoogling of the train
  and jump up through the seat.
  The resulting skeletons
  of unlucky passengers
  turn an honest penny
  for the transport executive,
  hanging far and wide
  in medical schools.
-- Edwin Morgan
Some years ago, Edwin Morgan was commissioned by the Scottish Arts Council
to write a series of poems for the inauguration of Glasgow's refurbished
Underground system. He sent this sample, which sent such alarm through the
Strathclyde transport executive that they decided against using the poems.

from Poems On The Underground

Even London Underground didn't dare to use the poem - its only given in the
anthology's notes. I was reminded of it both by the Morgan poem you gave,
and by a trip last week to Calcutta. Passing the entrances to the Calcutta
Metro, I couldn't help remembering that Calcutta is also the centre of
India's thriving human skeleton export trade...

I was recently given some of edwin morgans poems to read by a college tutor
including advice to read this one too ...he thought I would enjoy them as they
are based on "my neck of the woods".........now that I have ......I just
don't get them........I am from the west of scotland.....and have spent a lot of
time in and around glasgow and the people and to be brutally honest none of
his poems reflect the area in my eyes........maybe I'm just not cultured or
intelligent enough to understand them .......but I do know that the average
Joe on the streets of glasgow would ......'laugh their heeds aff' at this
....as I did......

Terdapat beberapa macam teknik, sayangnya teknik ngak nyambung tangkipanel septic flow toilet kimia oleh. Sebaliknya, efek samping dari teknik pengobatan medis ini justru menambah parah kondisi kesehatan tubuh si penderita. Radioterapi, kemoterapi, dan pembedahan ternyata tak seefektif apa yang anda harapkan. Namun semua akan membaik jika anda mengkombinasikan teknik pengobatan medis ini dengan teknik pengobatan alternative.</
