Writing Like a Rose: with Beauty, Thorns, Addiction, Dedication & inspiration

Denial

ten

percent fiber and two grams of

total protein and thirteen percent sodium and

calories total adds up when you shudder

and suppose

about the commentaries you are about to hook

from shelf metal and to sniff the sole aromas of

those taste buds savoring a quick delicacy of the

momentary harm which really can’t hurt flies so

after all the research is complete why don’t they

skip that when you go convert all your friends to

sign up for only eaten and not consumed dinner

and thirteen percent sodium and two lonely

grams of protein that’s now just

gone extinct.
