Reminded and Heavily Humbled
rice and gravy perfectly made
for some reason, the liver goes well with it
i would rather have some neckbones
however, somebody out there and hungry would love to take my place right now
buttermilk biscuits almost puts me to sleep
the honey butter is a pleasant surprise
the shells and cheese with bacon bits, to me, balances it out rather well
i remember when i was that somebody out there hungry wishing i was who i was observing while salivating
one night, i middle aged guy stopped at my car and told me his story
i went into a burger king and bought him some food and a cup of water
at the time, i had just finished eating dinner bought with my plasma donation money
the tears of gratitude in his eyes represented his truth to me
i drove back 'home' that night heavily humbled
