When I become a vegan

what will I eat at openings like this?

I will only munch on crackers

while eyeing the fancy dresses

and the long skinny legs

underneath.

If I lived in a gallery

I would sleep on rubber mats

that look like intestines

drink wine and eat cheese

observe the beautiful women

with their unique styles

and tattoos

a perfect circle on each foot

their lovers' favorite kissing spot.

As I wash my hands in the sink

I meet my eyes in the mirror

and realize I am one of them

whether I like it or not.
