A Dining Experience

What's possible?
What's impossible?

At Nathan's hot dog eating contest
one contestant consumed sixty-eight
cooked franks in ten minutes—

In Madras it took thirty seconds to eat
200 live worms and earn a world record

In Miami a man died after winning
a worm and cockroach eating contest

Imagine eating over 24,000 Big Macs
it's been done over a period of thirty-six years

Oh what's possible
What's impossible

We can swallow differences
Blur boundaries, release our
particular preferences
or expire with our differences
