Shit Eaters
by Me
They want the best for you.
The best that they can conceive of.
Because we are all limited by ourselves,
By our upbringing, our genetics, our culture,
Personnal choices and prejudices.
We can only want for others,
The best we know for ourselves.
They were all he ever ate, and offering me one of his
Shit sandwiches was the nicest act he could conceive of.
I didn’t take it, of course, because it was a shit sandwich.
But I thanked him sincerely and graciously.
Because he offered me the best he had.
