Mundane but essential sardines are a staple. We are all like sardines, trapped in a life that is cramped, crowded, and filled to the brim. We cannot escape. We are beheaded. Our guts and bones brittle from the pressure. We try to scream but our heads have been cut off. No one can hear us. Instead we await our fate. To be eaten, gnawed upon and spit out. Eventually we leave the world as nothing more than excrement.
