Every breath
every bite
labors on behalf of survival.
Every breath
every bite
kills something on behalf of survival's interests.
As a poet, I recognize I often kill
the noble English sandwich (language.)
However, linguistic murder has never been my intention.
Call my misdeeds, therefore, language-slaughter
as opposed to manslaughter.
Murder is not my intention, when I sit to compose you a ditty.
As regarding the Ten Commandments, though,
if I'm not mistaken, it reads ---Thou shalt not commit murder,
not Thou shalt not kill.
