chasing a cow

if i had to actually chase

a cow down

the street and kill it

or milk it,

i probably wouldn't eat meat,

or drink milk,

same goes for a chicken,

a pig,

or a veal cutlet,

or a turkey leg..

i don't have it in me to kill

an animal

skin it

then make steaks or pork chops

out of it.

so i'm glad that someone has

done that for

me and put it in

nice plastic packages

at the grocery store.

i try not to think about how

cute they

may have been, if they

had names like lulubelle,

or jimmy,

or porky.

someone fire up the grill.

where's the montreal seasoning?

i'm starving
