a meal...

take a slice of life
eat it up
dulls the hunger
but not enough to satisfy
bite off more then you can chew
then choke
but this meal is not for me
it is rotten
bitter
i starve myself
life is for the weak
for me there is deaths

not enough to satisfy, but enough to get by: you have to be alive to be starving.

"for me there is deaths"...

some people, like buddha, say the problem isn't death, it's the "for me."

what's death for? what's life for?
not for me.
it's for you and you and you.
always for you.
then death is sad, but not an end.
and it isn't mine.
