Foodie

it has been a pretty decent
season for eating, and
look: I am a fine
foodie.

I have munched on a good many
morsels. I have made a
feast of
countless jerky treats.

but I need to eye a goddamn morsel
before ingestion, and
certainly
pre-deglutition. I

admit: I weren’t always an expert at
causing a digestion circumstance
to happen
with my belly parts.

take a thing like
a ham bone: it
is good to
study and sniff it, to

gnash it with the
delicateness, and the
refined nature.

a careful mastication, innit.

but to touch it with my
paws would be some
barbaric shit.
