dehumanized

And if there’s a god, then he already knows -
that when he baked me, he burnt me accidentally.
Threw me out to the hungry wolves,
thinking that could be my purpose.
But even they couldn’t keep the taste down.

I would argue I relate more to
fruit rotting away in a decorative bowl
than to any other person I have met.
I just hope my pit or seed gets offered back
to the ground so I can try again.
