Survival of the Fittest

By WhiteMidnight

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Having nothing else to eat, this lifeless form of meat Almost looked good. But the closer it got to my mouth, the more My stomach churned. The way I saw it, this was a Battle - survival of the fittest - eat it or get eaten by it. Pushing it Under the table was not a possibility - someone would surely see me. Ready to hold my breath and eat the disgusting, formless Gray lump, I picked the patty up and stared in disgust. En route to my mouth, I caught a whiff of the stench. No matter how Ready I thought I was, it had defeated me. Cow - 1, Man - 0 Written January 21st, 2002 © on Jan 21 2002 11:16 AM PST   0 • 14
