WHERE WILL YOU GO, YOU
CLEVER LITTLE WORM,
filled with so much goodness
flaccid in my grip,
gushing all that nacho cheese? 

In my mouth a graveyard
appears, lines of stones 
slam into your grilled broadside.

You loved living your lie of billboard
immortality, hunger had its own scheme,
crushed like a bug you still die. 

Soon, now, you will join the ranks
of those crunchwraps, chalupas, and quesadillas
or I will get too full, or change my mind
and throw you away because you are only
beef and beans, and with your lettuce dried
also your sour cream. 

Quickly/quietly say,
“It’s for the best,” it is best for you
so preen under my tongue with your
packets of mild and fire. 

Okay, talk is over, 
words are placid and weak.
I’ll back it with action,
now watch close as you shrink.
