In Memoriam

By: pseudomuffin

They are all eating hot dogs

in memory of

Edgar Allan Poe.

The sickly-salty meat

of questionable origin

ties knots in my stomach.

I smile as I decline their offer

one more time.

They look at me--

disgust! disapproval!--

I keep my Cheshire grin

as I slowly get up

and walk into the woods.
