Egg salad sandwich Sandwiched between two hands Hands covered in rings Rings covered in mayonnaise Mayonnaise made with olive oil Oil dripping from every pore Pores huge on his skin Skin once not-so grotesque Grotesque since he was nine Nine years ago he formed a habit Habit of feeding instead of sleeping Sleeping isn't quite as entertaining Entertaining is the absorbance of flavor Flavor replaces satisfaction Satisfaction in life Life not chosen by he He the king, the insomniac Insomniac turned glutton Glutton turned manic-depressive man Man turned monster

The Glutton
Egg salad sandwich Sandwiched between two hands Hands covered in rings Rings covered in mayonnaise Mayonnaise made with olive oil Oil dripping from every pore Pores huge on his skin Skin once not-so grotesque Grotesque since he was nine Nine years ago he formed a habit Habit of feeding instead of sleeping Sleeping isn't quite as entertaining Entertaining is the absorbance of flavor Flavor replaces satisfaction Satisfaction in life Life not chosen by he He the king, the insomniac Insomniac turned glutton Glutton turned manic-depressive man Man turned monster
