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!
