Bon Appetit:
Great poem. Really, one of my favorites here. The first verse I enjoyed particularly -- I've always enjoyed eggs, but if I think too hard about them, they're absolutely disgusting. I've also had similar thought processes as you here. It's just creepy looking at a slab of meat and thinking -- that used to be like me. It used to be part of a whole that was running around a pasture munching on grass, making noise, flowing with blood and life.
So, clever piece. The ideas explored are true and unpretentious, which I also like. Didn't think your conclusion was as strong. Unlike Sarg, I'm not really digging the chewing sunlight image. Also the whole omnivore bit was a little ho-hum...
