Masticating With Deliberation

(alternately titled fancyfeast feeds finicky folky fungi) 

No matter this omnivore 
experiences stomach rumbles like birth
(pains) of a nation (loud enough to be heard 
clear opposite side of Earth), 
this self actualized (1% Neanderthal 
ask my eldest sister while sitting close to heath
(genetic results from 23andme.com as proof positive) 
thar haint no dearth
where genealogy traces origin of *****Sapiens, while girth
of Gaia swollen with present burgeoning population, 
whose gestalt swings between moroseness, mirth
or emotional gamut, such sentient being such as mice elf 
(i.e., a generic male) 
undergoes self guided heightened sensory 
quintessential existential awareness, 
the effort wool worth.
the idea sans art of mindfulness – 
analogous to a sixth sense
plus active listening (with consciousness) quite intense
said silent credo, dictum, ethos...fueling gutsy cents
and sensibility (without pridefulness nor prejudice) 
herewith, this poem doth try to condense, 
incorporating laser re: mental focus 
involving munching or drinking favored beverage
at necessary survival at substantial expense
on food in mannered mien without offense
naturally with healthy, nutritiously plentiful, 
quality meal in company of aye gents
provocateurs or alone, nonetheless 
(consisting of adequate ruffage sustenance) dense
enough to satiate appetite, 
and hence able to function utmost energy – 
practice taking mouth-size bites, and dis pence 
with hungrily wolfing incredible edibles – 
rather I strive to measure core rents, 
and paroxysms germinating deep 
within bowels of this body electric, 
implementing prolonged chewing whence

I (in presence of family) 
usually heal chow digestion at light speed, 
thus (no syrup rise) tend to be 
last person to consume entire meal
enjoying tasting every last morsel 
conjuring awareness to appeal
avast realm of numerous textures, 
qualities, characteristics, et cetera 
per culinary delight allows, 
enables, and provides sensation feel

ling dissolution concomitant with each mouthful
prolonging basic function to appease 
famished "beast" fur real.
