    Summary

    In restaurants we argue
    over which of us will pay for your funeral
    though the real question is
    whether or not I will make you immortal.
    At the moment only I
    can do it and so
    I raise the magic fork
    over the plate of beef fried rice
    and plunge it into your heart.
    There is a faint pop, a sizzle
    and through your own split head
    you rise up glowing;
    the ceiling opens
    a voice sings Love Is A Many
    Splendoured Thing
    you hang suspended above the city
    in blue tights and a red cape,
    your eyes flashing in unison.
    The other diners regard you
    some with awe, some only with boredom:
    they cannot decide if you are a new weapon
    or only a new advertisement.
    As for me, I continue eating;
    I liked you better the way you were,
    but you were always ambitious.

    — “They Eat Out” by Margaret Atwood
