#DIGEST

[teal-fiend]

A pred that blends in with society, but is therefore constantly surrounded by their ideal prey. 

It’s like being offered up a fresh burger, and it happens wherever you go outside. There’s so much delicious food available all of the time. It can be overwhelming. It’s hard not to overeat, and it’s hard not to blow your cover.

It’s also kind of heaven. You’ll never be without food. You feast like a king every night. You have a lifetime supply, a free buffet every day.

Maybe when you first arrived you couldn’t really help yourself. You ate too much, got a tummy ache, and you almost got caught. But now that you’ve settled down, you can dine at your leisure. You have no competition and no enemies. Only a whole lot of cute, friendly, trusting, tasty food.

Various belly onomatopeia with varying grafitti effects. I plan to use this as a base to diversify my tummy sounds in my drawings :)

I always want things to be done when I say they are, but things have to work their way entirely through your system, like food in digestion.

A poem by Gregory Pardlo

Written by Himself

I was born in minutes in a roadside kitchen a skillet

whispering my name. I was born to rainwater and lye;

I was born across the river where I

was borrowed with clothespins, a harrow tooth,

broadsides sewn in my shoes. I returned, though

it please you, through no fault of my own,

pockets filled with coffee grounds and eggshells.

I was born still and superstitious; I bore an unexpected burden.

I gave birth, I gave blessing, I gave rise to suspicion.

I was born abandoned outdoors in the heat-shaped air,

air drifting like spirits and old windows.

I was born a fraction and a cipher and a ledger entry;

I was an index of first lines when I was born.

I was born waist-deep stubborn in the water crying

ain’t I a woman and a brother I was born

to this hall of mirrors, this horror story I was

born with a prologue of references, pursued

by mosquitoes and thieves, I was born passing

off the problem of the twentieth century: I was born.

I read minds before I could read fishes and loaves;

I walked a piece of the way along before I was born.
