Animal or Vegetable?

Yes chris. Good work. Still think the last stanza is a pity because it is so much "better" than the rest
Best,

Well, it's good to end strong! However, I feel the opening and intervening stanzas are potent too. Initially, you said the same of the first line. Nonetheless, I am up for suggestions for further editing.

...and I stand by that. The rest of the piece is NOT bad, it's just that the last stanza is so good (though not as good as pre-edit!) "Committing those acts" seems more reader friendly if not just more correct.

That was me evening out the meter, but perhaps I will restore the line. Let me take another look. Thanks much Tom!
