Today I am a Hunter

The space between my navel
and my backbone seems
to be diminishing,
but it's a little bit 
like diminishing returns--

rather more appropriately 
said returns on diminishing
because:

I feel okay about things,
there just isn't much food.

But I am getting leaner
and require less.

There is much resistance
but I am powerful
and power thru.

It has been said:
the hungry dog hunts best,
and so I guess I'm on safari.

Prepare the Serengeti for
my arrival God:
I am famished
and your population of
wild antelope might
take a hit soon.

I am coming for you life!
A lean and powerful
hunter stalks your trail.

I smell the blood of 
your wounds--
as a result of the last
swipe I took at you.

I see the broken limbs
that mark your trail--
making it easier to 
stay on top of your path.

I feel the warmth 
of your excrement--
exciting my knowledge 
that you must not be far.

I hear your howls in
the middle of the night--
you are valiant, worthy
prey, and so you taunt me.

I taste the nectar 
of the inevitable--
a meeting of the
minds... as it were.

Superheroes don't take
the subway,
guys carrying boxes
of syringes do.
