“ Motives “ ...

” Motives “

Motives for stalling
being told to redraw
to the bland talking points
with the bar of course
set unusually low
caught in limbo as foretold

dually deadly among the unlucky
triggering floods sliding mud
left vulnerable red-blooded
dinner rushes not letting up

meant for meat lovers
tomatoes, a stick of butter,
an onion and salt
all for the sake of first-course
for gorging carnivores...
