I call it meat mining when they
draw and quarter a dead roach
lift their meaty haul on spindly legs
and lug it back to the communal
dining hall for breakfast
later perhaps a cheap cherry pie
will be found on the ground
in gooey red and frosted pieces
and taken underground for
a late afternoon dessert
at night who knows what they do
but I bet there’s a group that drinks
from dropped beer cans staggers off
misses the next shift and shows up
next morning not remembering much
except they were with friends
lying on their backs
watching the moon waddle across
the sky and rolling in laughter
