Digesting Thankfulness

chew your food slowly
your daily bread
grateful for each bite

thankful for those
who sit at your table

wining
masticating
jittering

elbows leaning
mouths wide open
babies crying

but imagine no one
no food at all
not a crumb

mouse nervously chews his tale
dreaming of cheese

chew your food slowly
your daily bread
grateful for each bite

thankful for those
who sit at your table
