Unwanted Food

Eating sausages needing more salt Planes rumble from up above Refrigerator does not work Cooling is secondary for food Eyes are huge when morsels come Oblivious to words of warning Songs emit when eating quickly Joyful bliss, comments over bound Listening to snap, crackle, and pop Eating away, feeling explosive Food plows inside, too much Sounds make for unbalanced head Legs crossed, poor feelings falling Down, down, down the ground holds The butt, hitting rock bottom And the meal bleeds out the body Showing the food feels unwanted Never wanted to be eaten again Russell Sivey

Hmmmm I'm afraid this one left me wondering my friend. Is this tainted food that was eaten? Needs to be a bit more explicit. Sorry for my inability to understand. God Bless, JB
