beaker of fluidI’m looking down into my trashcan, staring at the bottom of an upturned yogurt container. Fifteen minutes ago, I devoured its contents with gusto, savoring every spoonful. Now I’m looking at it. I cannot turn away.

It is empty; I have ingested its semiviscous innards. Discarded, it should be of no further concern, but it speaks to me with words that are, at a single stroke, both silent and thunderous. I am reading the words Best by May 17, 2008.

Hmm…I think I may have figured out why we’re all sick all the time…

Well, “Best by…” is more of a suggestion, really.

I think you should have eaten it then put yourself in an sensory isolation chamber to see if you start to de-evolve

Was it pink? Of course I suppose that’s hard to tell with strawberry yogurt.

It wasn’t any lumpier than I expected strawberry yogurt to be, anyway.
