Meat Grinder

it’s not just about trying to bring them a
little bit of joy and a break from the grind,
the grinder temporarily unplugged and
the hum of death briefly silenced. no,
it’s also about helping them break their
programming, and change the story that
they tell themselves. To slightly nudge
those stories they tell to themselves about
themselves, because the lies they’ve been
told since the day they were born get repeated,
and lead to sickness, and bad decisions, and
people end up in a cold, bloody room with a
meat grinder, one that just got plugged
back in after a nice, shiny sharpening.
