Worms

I ate some. But only because I’d heard so much about others doing it. I got tired of hearing about it when no one could tell me what they really tasted like. Cross raw tuna with a hotdog, in a casing, thin, watery, surprisingly tender, not too chewy. Different when the soil is sandy than when it’s wet. Dirt becomes meat; meat becomes dirt. 

permeable skin 
separation’s illusion
i’m just passing through
