Who was the first person
to think that human sacrifice
was a good idea?
Let's face it,
that wasn't a woman's idea.
As a species that was not one
of our finest moments.
Imagine the Aztec high priest
holding the obsidian knife,
moments away from plunging
through skin and muscle,
needing to cram their hand
into the cramped quarters
of a human chest, rooting around,
trying to find the panicked,
beating heart, wholly unprepared
for air and sunlight.
It must have been an awkward
first for both the people
and gods involved.
