Hunger
This is hunger. An animal
all fangs and eyes.
It cannot be distracted or deceived.
It is not satisfied with one meal.
It is not content
with a lunch or dinner.
Always threatens blood.
Roars like a lion, squeezes like a boa,
thinks like a person.
The specimen before you
was captured in India (outskirts of Bombay)
but it exists in a more or less savage state
in many other places.
Please stand back.
