Tongue In Cheek
When you say you eat men like air...
does one really eat air? Supermodels try,
to be sure, but sensible people think
masticating something nonexistent
is just not worth the bother
of a philosophical conundrum.
Or was air there to rhyme with there?
You could have said, I eat men like hair –
at least men are hairy.
It would have made a kind of raunchy,
roundabout sense.
Or did you mean that you eat men
like the smog of Los Angeles and Mexico City
slowly constricts its inhabitants?
You would have to mean men
in the old fashioned sense, and then
you'd be a baby strangler.
Infanticidal cannibals
don't win Pulitzer's.
So, sort the ambiguity please –
some of your fans have ridiculous minds.
