bugs in the stink

i’d rather eat than be the meat.

pigs sweat,
bleak —
bone picking,
bugs in the stink.

stuck in the house,
a long scream —
pigs blood,
the american dream.

a carcass,
clean.
cheap shots,
silent screams.

pig snouts snort,
a savage squeal.
writhing disgust,
a foul meal.

i’d rather eat
than be the meat —
i’d rather eat
than accept defeat.
