I eat my soup,
and only eat my soup
mindful that—
With my teeth
I chew.
With my throat
I swallow.
With my belly
I digest.
With my mind
I taste.
With my body
I savor.
—the rest can wait.

we shot to kill
It sucks
it’s burnt
it’s hard to swallow.
I chew the fat
then choke down
bile.
For now
mouthfuls
of blood and oil.
As I spit flesh
it stinks
of sorrow.
A few more bites
just choke
and swallow.
For what it’s worth
we shot to kill
and did.
The reason our parents told us not to worry about the mail.
So
here’s the thing.
You’ve got two options.
Either succumb to the pressure
or roll with the punches.
Take note, being an adult
means a diet of eating shit,
and just when you’re ahead,
another bill arrives,
a parking ticket
a meter reading
a doctor visit that’s killing you.
Just spare us
the headache
and chew
with your
mouth closed.
Because we all have our own plate to eat.
No one is asking for seconds.
