people eat each other.
they lick the skin,
fresh from the shower,
from the gym,
sweating with
salt and pheromones
and then nibble.
Take a bite,
a test taste. Most
don’t know it until
they are full, having
eaten their share.
They walk away carrying,
pregnant, someone else,
that they will defecate
in a perfectly tapered log
kept as reference.
