Essay: Frail Wisdoms

 

I eat what they put in front of me. I am a terravore, I will eat the world.  

I feel shame because lately I’ve been eating irrecoverable rhythms. 

Last night I ate the superstitions of sunset. 

Inside, these old troublemakers fall in the bottomless echo of poverty, a fancy way of saying my guts.

You just think you are sizing up your destiny Mr. K. It’s time now to eat and realize falsity.
