Amy Gerstler, from "Fuck You Poem #45" (2003)

This sounds very interesting, but messy, unless we misunderstand the writer's purpose. — The Schoolmarm

Fuck you in slang and conventional English.
Fuck you in lost and neglected lingoes.
Fuck you hungry and sated; faded, pock marked and defaced.
Fuck you with orange rind, fennel and anchovy paste.
Fuck you with rosemary and thyme, and fried green olives on the side. . . .
