The Glutton
Egg salad sandwich
Sandwiched between two hands
Hands covered in rings
Rings covered in mayonnaise
Mayonnaise made with olive oil
Oil dripping from every pore
Pores huge on his skin
Skin once not-so grotesque
Grotesque since he was nine
Nine years ago he formed a habit
Habit of feeding instead of sleeping
Sleeping isn't quite as entertaining
Entertaining is the absorbance of flavor
Flavor replaces satisfaction
Satisfaction in life
Life not chosen by he
He the king, the insomniac
Insomniac turned glutton
Glutton turned manic-depressive man
Man turned monster
