I do not hunt
except for bargains
or spelling errors
to correct commenters
thus proving my argument is stronger than anyone else’s
in any of WarnerVerse community boards
I happen to be a part of.

I do not hunt
but for failings in my characters
for the purposes of self-flagellation
so that I may feel freer
in the process of others-flagellation,
an avocation that occupies many an hour,
if I were hunting for honesty, here.
I am not
– because I do not hunt.

I do not hunt
because we are past that.
I do not hunt
because it seems cruel.
I do not hunt
because I don’t like tomatoes.
I do not hunt
though I don’t use all fingers on a keyboard
and for years have lived in Hunts Point.

Despite all these things
(and because of some others)
I just don’t see the point in hunting
but I will keep looking.
