Eating My Nose

Eating My Nose

I’m tired of eating stuff that comes
out of the ground, out of a cow,
out of a box.
Is there anything more puzzling
than hunger like an empty limp condom?
Everyone must want to stretch
their mouths into odd shapes,
everyone wants to do the unthinkable,
and maybe even do it in public.
I’ve seen my dog contort himself
into weird shapes to do weird things,
I’ve seen rush hour madness
leads to fast food joint rumbles.
I’m just going to sit here
and do what others only think of.
It’s like a horror movie,
it’s like playing football
with your boss’ head,
it’s like eating your nose .
Yes - that’s exactly it,
being the unnatural
living on the dark side.
Each day is Halloween
and I need no mask to wear.
