we survive by the
luck of the draw, debating
what to eat instead

of are we able to eat, and
what would we have to give up?

we can’t imagine
going back – as the color

as long as we are

as long as we are
alive, it will never stop –
this need to feed and
be fed –
we look to our
allies, when we
should be looking
for accomplices

singular way of
dedicating themselves
to the diagnosed

one another for best and
worst case scenarios,
readjust our negativity
bias for a version
of survival
