the whole chicken

i know
that when i stuff myself
when my insides
mash up my body
and jam up my ribs
i feel as i do too often
a head trapped within a skull
but here i go again
and eat the whole chicken

Is it a happy whole chicken at least?

Why we torture ourselves in this way, I don't know. I wish I had the answers. I do things like this, too. Glutton for punishment? Out of comfort? Easiness? Habit? Who knows. You're only human. Ease up on yourself there, sweetness. xo

i was going to call it glutton for punishment, except it's so pleasurable devouring a chicken. thanks, as always, for your very human responses xo
