a poem written by a high-quality non-organic restaurant

*note* honestly ‘don’t like’ this poem, think i’m just trying to ‘go viral’ by being political or something, my ‘true nature’ is ‘moral within an existential framework’ not ‘moral within a moral framework,’ this poem is a ‘parody’ or something of a poem written by a bear *note*

let me go place ads in time out new york and l magazine

why are there edensoy brochures on our bulletin board, or something

what if i place ads in new york magazine

i’m a high-quality non-organic restaurant; i exist on many streets in new york city and i get many more customers than organic restuarants that cost less than me

i saw rich people today and they came inside and ordered non-organic broccoli and factory-farmed chicken and i felt ‘sweet’

let me go get new contracts from kraft cheese and tyson beef

let me go put high-quality non-organic butter in a ‘ramekin’

last night i served $40 high-quality non-organic lamb to various ‘afficianados’ of high-quality non-organic food

the lamb was factory-farmed and injected with a lot of antibiotics but it seemed okay, like people didn’t taste that part, i think

people wanted to eat lamb and be happy and drink wine and i provided that

i saw a depressed man eat three entrees the other night

he seemed good

i felt good and compassionate and thought, ‘should we give him free mashed potatoes or something’

sometimes i consider organic food but then think about all the shit-talkers that would shit-talk us for high prices if we had organic food instead of high-quality non-organic food

sometimes i want to rebrand msg as a delicacy because it seems like i could do it pretty easily

i’ll convince people that eating msg makes you working class or not self-righteous or something

the ceos of msg companies and i will have meetings where we look at graphs showing how people who eat organic food are actually more poor than people who eat high-quality non-organic food and feel like our profit margins are secure

i will openly list msg as an ingredient on our menus

seems sweet

i will place ads in the new yorker, harper’s, and something expected like bookforum, sweet

i felt that the universe doesn’t make sense and that my profits don’t make sense and then i felt sweet

i’ll serve tiny, high-quality, non-organic, genetically-engineered portions of asparagus, edamame, and caviar

i’ll serve factory-farmed pig, cows, turkey, and other animals

i’ll import factory-farmed salmon from south america and i’ll feel sweet
