May Contain Shell Fragments

Good Manufacturing Practices Used To Segregate Ingredients
Like a fever
Some sand monster from Dune
I shove things in my mouth
Just today: I am bleeding
Having stabbed the roof of my mouth
With the pointed tip of an almond
Why I tried to masticate
An almond in vertical alignment
- position -
I will never know
What I do
Know
Is that I am beastly
With regard to nourishment
But I keep slim
Because my ancestors
Packaged me thusly
In A Factory That Also Processes Peanut, Other Tree Nut, Milk And Soy Ingredients

ouch with the stabbing. I feel your almond pain on that one, and I feel the ooze of preservatives in my sinews.
