Animal Crackers

The shirt asked
and who couldn't 
consider: would 
a vegetarian eat
animal crackers?

Let's say horse 
cloven gelatin
had no role role
in this recipe;
not even eggs.

Moral obligation
is as abstract as
the false smile
of graham pandas.

But ethics are the
type of imagination,
or more simply, image,
which say which faces,
however formed,
may not be broken
by teeth.
