going vegan

I decide to give up
bacon
for a few days,

okay. twelve hours.
and I have to admit,
I do feel a lot better.

i'm perkier and my skin has
a nice healthy glow to it.

i'm drinking my green juice
and slicing up
some carrots
for dinner.

I stand at the kitchen
sink,
cutting up my carrots,
celery too, I like the color.

but then I see a deer
crossing in the woods.

a healthy looking beast.
he looks my
way
and we make eye contact.

I cant help but think
of meat. of spare ribs
and pot roast. I sigh.
those were
days.

well actually, the hours.
it's only been twelve hours
and eleven minutes now.
