Chicken in a watermelon is no less real

"Chicken in a watermelon is no less real . . ."

Sam Sifton

in the beginning 

of man's reality

the chicken came

with the watermelon

*

thus creating a

chronic dichotomy

between watermelon

and chicken to this day

*

some would say the chicken

being in the watermelon

is the totality of our reality

and must come first

*

others disagree and claim

the watermelon existed

long before the chicken

could get into it.

*

both sides are wrong

there is no chicken

there is no watermelon

there is only chamoy sauce

*

in other words

stop thinking of chicken in watermelon

think instead 

of ordering takeout

*
