on your knees hacking and
coughing
you work to rid yourself of
the suffocating
lump in your throat as you
spit me out
tired of tasting the
bitterness of a bastard's
spittle dripping down your
chin connected
to the wad of phlegm lying on
the sidewalk
squirming silently in the
frigid night air
using the sidewalk's rough
surface to sharpen
my teeth to razor sharp
shark's teeth ready
for the gorging I begin to
gnaw away
the connection between us
until we are
separated and I can roll off
the sidewalk
and into the sewer where I
can learn to
swim through all kinds of
shit slowly
traveling to the ocean where
I can evolve
like other creatures weaned
on milk and honey
