cut and run

If you were hungry enough.
Curious enough.
I could hook you.
Reel you in.
Throw you back.
Catch you again.
Put you in a tank and just look at you.
Or gut you.
Toss your insides under the porch.
Scrape the blood off your spine with my thumbnail.
Cook you, eat you.
Or shellac you.
Mount you on the living room wall.
Hey, everyone, look what I caught.
But you are not hungry.
You didn't even finish your cereal.
