Are You Dead, Ted?

Are you grateful
in the grave?
Gentleman madman.
Did two thousand volts
keep you warm?
Or did you shudder
from shock
after the cold?
Victim of hate
schizoid pigeon.
Alone now with suited tendons
and cadaver skin.
Are you sunburnt from
the unforgiving flame?

@Steven Francis Poems 1996
