Predating Predation

 

Have you ever seen

A fox eat a rabbit?

Her teeth: scissor quick

When she speaks;

Chopping her voice into pieces

Like when you sing into a fan

And the words scarcely

Leave your mouth

Before ducking back into the den.

She ruminates

Regurgitates

The words she eats

She fumigates

And barely does the tail

Disappear and leave no trail

Then she’s found another rat

To set her sights

Upon condemning.

After all her words of matrimony,

And flame retardant antimony,

The black eyed vixen, cannot deny

Point blank hypocrisy.

The mascara rubs

Nose crinkles up

The fox who chews before she thinks

Speaks before she winks

Had eyes bigger than her stomach

Did not sense the rat poison

Locked the gift kiss on the mouth

Apex predators predate the threat

And foxes have no Achilles’ tendons

But then you know

That’s not true
