BITE
February 22, 2010
Go ahead.
Take a big bite!
Why nibble round the edges of it?
I promise you:
It is chewy
and crunchy
and salty
at the center.
at the center.
So sweet
it’ll bring
a tear to your eye.
Thank God.
A flying Dutchman…
faulty underpants…
Otherwise,
who knows how many . . .
Expect delays.
Polar bears say
we are warming
Weatherman says
the ‘feels-like’ is
ten below.
Surplus? What surplus?
Deficit now.
Oh God.
A flying American…
faulty tax laws…
How many letters was it?
Consequently-
expect silence.
I know.
You are drained.
You are drained.
What you need
is the sustenance
right there
in front of you
under that veil
the holy man…I mean
the banker…I mean
the statesman…I mean
the statesman…I mean
the teacher…I mean
the bully
pulled over it.
Right there.
Go ahead.
Lift the veil.
Yes.
It is messy.
Viscous.
Squirming.
It looks live
because it is.
Yes.
It is.
Go ahead.
