I'M STARVING
by Gene Morgan

Should I order the chicken sandwich?
Because the earth is dying.
Chicken is dying. Humanity
is dying. I'm Sorry. Diet Coke
is killing us. It's some tragedy.
There's a war, and I kinda want a salad.
People are suffering from unnatural causes
in California. I have no attachment to them.
This tablecloth was made in a Chinese factory.
Are you going to have iced tea?
Implosion is human nature. Also, evil.
Swiss is a great cheese, you know?
It's all going to work out.
The Earth has already handled our grievances
in a way that will crush all humanity, forever.
I'd like my chicken cooked through.
Also, I'd like to remind you how hungry I am.
