my doctor said i have one eye bigger than the other
"food passes downwards into the oesophagus,
then further down into the stomach,
where gastric juices break it down into
what can only be described as
a porridge-like consistency
the then partly digested food moves through
the small intestine (which to doctors is
also known as the small bowel)
here, and not later, it is broken down even further so the
nutrients can be absorbed into the blood stream
the waste products from this process are then pushed
into the large intestine or large bowel
the liquid is absorbed
and the left over waste forms solid stools
these collect together in the
rectum until they are passed out of the body in
a bowel movement."
after the man on the dance floor yelled this in my ear,
i went back to the bar for another round
