Eat
Notice how the word 'eat' book-ends the verse, like jaws, consuming all the words in between. 'Eat' shows us the hunger of the eater, like the teeth of a devouring beast bearing down upon the English language as though to envelope it forever in the belly of this most primal instinct: eating. Or did I just write the word 'eat' twice for the hell of it?
