metagraph redux

[larvatus]

— for Chien-Ling Liu  

                             In a Time of Cuisine
                             A fact the gourmet
                             euphemism can’t silence:
                             vegetarians eat sex,
                             carnivores eat violence.
                             — Les Murray, April 2004

                  Fair Play
         Herbivorous scruples
         betoken the coward —
         men eat flesh on credit
         ere they get devour’d.
