Eating String Cheese With the New York City Mice
Push
the cheese through the
grater rather
than
shredding it back
and forth
like you always do.
Just jam it through
the grater
like a cartoon
and end up with
a bunch
of tiny
string cheeses.
Take these
string cheeses to the
hungry mice living in
the sewers
of
New York City!
And sit down
cross-legg-ed,
in a circle with the
mice and give each of them
a little
personal string cheese.
Eat cheese with the New York
City mice, and snack
on sunflower seeds with
the seagulls on a livewire.
Climb down with
them and scavange
french fries.
It's a good life,
eating small foods
with small
New York City animals.
Eating with dogs
is too
territorial,
eating with bugs
is too scary,
and eating with other
people creates
too
much guilt.
If you can just
enjoy a string
cheese with
a mouse,
no mousetraps,
no worries, even if
only for a brief
second as you taste
the first
sodium-filled bite of
processed cheese,
there's a unique peace,
that neither the Buddha or
Jesus experienced,
which is gained from eating string cheese with a mouse.
