Grasp the near-perfect sphere in your hands
Round and gleaming, inviting alteration
Bite through the crisp skin
Relishing the sharp snap
It makes against your teeth
Sink your pearly white weapons
Into the cream-yellow flesh
Expose the unattractive soft bruises
Hiding beneath the perfectly polished exterior
Chew, swallow, and repeat
Until all that remains
Is a thin-waist core
Slimmed to skinny perfection
And finally, you are satisfied
