switching over to martinis

i can eat
chicken
or steak, or pork, with absolutely
no sense
of guilt
or shame.
i'm oblivious to what
the poor
animal had to go through
to arrive
on my plate.
i eat, i summon
the waiter
for butter and bread,
and another
round
of pepper
from the big shaker.
no more beer,
i tell him,
i think i'll have a martini
instead.
