"Salt water cures everything: sweat, tears, and the sea."


Today I ate a lovely meal
Filled with pain and rot and hate
With each forkful I clearly saw
The poison laced around the plate.
Yet still I ate this odious meal
That made my bones like lead
Still I fueled my engine
Each bite: depression, dread.
Even as rang the kitchen bell
Did I know, could i tell?
That the beautiful thing
Was rotten inside
No one to me had ever lied
But I! But I!
I knew it straight
And still I ate and ate and ate.
