Chews To Keep You Away
Chews To Keep You Away
Each taste sends you
farther away from me,
that's where I want you to be.
Every calorie takes
your hands to another face,
far from my body,
my private parts.
my space.
Piles of crumbs
keep you from rubbing on me,
like you did on the bathroom tile
when I was just a child.
Bring on the food!
