this is the story of the gelatinous boy

Folder: 
one

born from protein-rich collagen

of boiled hides of pigs and cattle

his existence is a lose-lose battle

constantly contemplating his own incompetence

is it better to be alive but flavorless,

or have positive post-mortem comments from the rich?

"he had an exquisite taste"

this lack of flavor could explain his current behavior

(his only function is consumption)

and he can never savor life for what it is,

being spat back out so often

his coffin will be a non-fungus mold when it's over

purchased at ninety-nine cents a pack

if you plan on attending his funeral,

it's being held in my stomach
