Sentimental Attachment
There is a mosquito in my room, it’s is slow and
Fat when it comes near I’ll kill it even if all
Life is equal; the damn thing may carry Dengue
Fever and, anyways it isn’t possible to have
A meaningful relationship with an insect and feel
Distraught when it drowns in your coffee.
My neighbour has a lamb in his shed, it’s baaing
All day, misses its mother, the company of other
Lambs, to jump in the air, on a field, and looking
Cute; now it is being fattened up for slaughter in
About six month’s time, I’m looking forward to
Be invited for dinner, I have made mint sauce.
Dogs, would be difficult to eat though, there is
Something cannibalistic about it, they have been
Close to us through history emotionally they are
A part of us, this is partly true, people in China
Eat dogs, only a few through, the rest are like us
Give their pet silly names like… Fofino.
