Anthropocentric Bastard

 
She wasn’t saying
you’re a pompous elitist,
only that your anthropocentrism
appeared on your sleeve when she said
she was eating dog food, then had to explain
she meant people food she prepares for the dog.
It was only after she felt the need to translate
love is love in culinary terms to mean
food is food that you became an
Anthropocentric bastard.
