Modern Appetite by Michael R. Burch It grumbled low, insisting it would feast on blood and flesh, etcetera, at least three times a day. With soft lubricious grease and pale salacious oils, it would ease its way through life. Each day—an aperitif. Each night—a frothy bromide, for relief. It lived on TV fare, wore pinafores, slurped sugar-coated gumballs, gobbled S’mores. When gas ensued, it burped and farted. ’Course, it thought aloud, my wife will leave me. ****** are not so **** particular. Divorce is certainly a settlement, toujours! A Tums a day will keep the shrink away, recalcify old bones, keep gas at bay. If Simon says, etcetera, Mother, may I have my hit of calcium today?

I ate all the stars last night every single one Then I had a comet cone for dessert Now I have starburn and I'm burping up rays of light that sunburn my throat The comet cone was too sugary So I let it spew away Now I have to learn all the new constellations And of course it's all Confucius
