harried life.

always hurrying.

hustling and bustling.

then why don't i lose 

the excess pounds 

in all these comings and goings.

the answer lies

in the solace

that is

in the palate.

food!

glorious food.

sure to quell 

the hunger pangs

and the void

in the pit 

where the soul

and the stomach

merge,

collide,

converge,

intertwine,

are one,

and the same.

love.

light.

food.

taste.

light.

dark.

sad. 

delectable.

empty.

delicious.

glorious.

sad.

happy.

ecstatic.
