meat eating herbivore...and more...


Herbivore

He reaches into the cold refrigerator and pulls out the pan fried dumplings….

Placing the chilled meat wrapped in a soggy blanket of wrinkled dough on the kitchen table he then returns to the refrigerator to beckon the soy sauce. 

Chopsticks in mouth and wrists on the table, he pulls up his sleeves revealing his inked bracelet that reads herbivore.  The lid pops and the first dumpling is then eloquently picked up between the two bamboo attackers and dipped into the sauce container then placed immediately into the mouth of the herbivore, or mislabeled herbivore.  Then the second and so on until the last has been devoured….

She walks into a hotel room wearing a wedding ring and is accessorized by a man that isn't her husband.  The door closes as they embrace and his hand lifts her blouse gently up her back revealing her monogamous tattoo…….

Youth walks into a tattoo parlor looking for something that will distinguish him from everyone else, a uniqueness perhaps or a label, disappointed he leaves as the door closes behind him and the sign that reads we only ink the letters 'hypocrite' so don't ask for anything else shouts a silent goodbye.
