Daydreams From the Butcher Block

Daydreams from the butcher block:

Cannibalistic tendencies require cannibalistic standards. I don't want a fast food consumer. No Sir, no soda pop fed meat for me. If you're unhappy, that's tainted meat. I want me a happy vegan. Alas, they are a lot faster and smarter than your average T.V. watching livestock. Setting my snare at the whole foods. Sledgehammer against your skull in the Payless parking lot. Surgical steel ripping through yoga pants. Bolt cutters nipping off your swatch. You might have opinions in your spin class, but in my van your screams are muffled.
