The eradication of death
would be an invitation of shackles
as a subscription to incessant hunger,
eagerly exploited
in manipulative exchanges of labor for food

Many want to live forever.
Yet, we should want to shed
the necessity for eating

Perhaps we could still nibble,
stimulate tastebuds,
texture experiences,

odor and sound
as hors d’oeuvre aesthetique
as the art cuisine can be

Then we shall be free
to freely relate with others .
We won’t hunger

We will embrace
our mortality in peace
without greed for the puppeteered noises for more, more, more

Then and only then
shall we rival your God.
For your God needs not eat
