one hungers
and
seen
in a certain light
all
of the others are food
nor
need you look very far
I
love it when Alice says
let's
pretend I'm a hungry hyena
and
nurse gets to be a bone
though
beggars won't be choosers
you
get a grip with tooth or claw
it's
not only in the mirror
there
are eyes looking back
yourself
– you'd make a tasty morsel
is cooked really better than raw
for
tiger, lion, lizard of size?
anachronistically
you'd be
dinosaur
snack package
terrible
table manners these ones have
had
but
ants will look after the bone
in
hunger no one is ever alone
begin
to rend then
can
you feel it? salivary!
something
like a dance
these
worm turns, when you've breathed your last
of
course you might prefer a fast
but
you've been a long way in the guts already
through
the lungs, air's
much the same
your
consummation of a passion
we'll
call all devouring
Good fun!
