You’ve got it all
figured out.
You know how to eat
another man
without being disgusted
with dining on demise.
I wish I had
your ravenous taste
for flesh.
I tried.
I keep spitting
it out before I can muster
the courage to
swallow.
*Editor’s Note: This poem is in reference to the Donner Dinner Party, a tragic event which is the result of hikers being stranded due to extreme weather in California during the nineteenth century.
