Unnatural



Unnatural


I eat my low-sugar
vanilla yogurt
with ingredients only
a chemist would
recognize.

Yeah, it's a little weird,
but I've gotten used
to the flavors of RBST
and growth hormones
in my dairy products.

Call me complacent.
You know I don't care.
When chemical warfare
starts, I'll be immune.

While you lay gasping
for breath, the formaldehyde
from all those cigarettes
will preserve me.
