any idiot
can be a predator
no honor
sink in your claws, bigger, faster, unsuspected
FEAST without prep, without seasoning subtle reasoning
predators POUNCE FEED RIP DEVOUR ENJOY
predators = primitive + dumb + ruthless + delighted + sumptuously-fed
building nothing
not toasting 10 years from now
nor 5 years from now
nor last year ~ now? Portrait to consider:
disgraceful, satiated PREDATOR resting slob down atop a cleaned plate
with a grin
enough disdain to rise for breakfast, to do it all over again
---
Being prey, though, that
takes courage and love and humility
and planning and a future
compassion even when you know death is IN your mailbox:
prey pray
plan and persevere
progress
R U ready to prey pray?
prey pray
times more than one despairing voice
times MORE than two despairing voices we know quite well
times a dozen despairing voices we know FAR too well
