Buon Appetito
“Satisfied” has never entirely
peaked in me; just when I feel
at a pinnacle – Wham!--another
smack of barbecue embraces and
spicy grins –
We are appetites by nature –
inclined toward luscious
entries, and pastry treats,
(for the veggie it's veggies,
for the carnivore it's meats –
our plush courses, the anchor
of all seats) –
an organic slice from the
earth; a topping like heaven
but a devil on the scale –
no avoiding the sweat-room
whether female or male....
