Death of the Fathers, 1. Oysters
by Anne Sexton

Oysters we ate,
sweet blue babies,
twelve eyes looked up at me,
running with lemon and Tabasco.
I was afraid to eat this father-food
and Father laughed and drank down his martini,
clear as tears.
It was a soft medicine
that came from the sea into my mouth,
moist and plump.
I swallowed.
It went down like a large pudding.
Then I ate one o'clock and two o'clock.
Then I laughed and then we laughed
and let me take note -
there was a death,
the death of childhood
there at the Union Oyster House
for I was fifteen
and eating oysters
and the child was defeated.
The woman won.

Oysters
by Anne Stevenson

The fat man laughed because
the restaurant told him to,
because the oysters that slipped
at atrocious expense
through his pinguid lips
were poisonous,
and the hock at his elbow
hardly less,
and the lady, too,
so svelte in the crypt
of her basilisk dress
was dangerous
beyond the laughable.
Wasn’t that diamond
clipped
at her cleavage
an oyster between
white dunes on a beach,
growing luscious on sewage’s
steamy tureen
of barely detectable
radioactive garbage?

The Oyster
by Ogden Nash

The oyster's a confusing suitor
It's masc., and fem., and even neuter.
But whether husband, pal or wife
It leads a painless sort of life.
I'd like to be an oyster, say,
In August, June, July or May
