words about the times of meals
part, firstbreakfast:
it is the first of the eatings
of the day of this,
it is the breaking
of the fast
part, one and one half
brunch:
it is an event
of fancy restaurants
and cloth napkins,
couples kissing
over bacon grease
part, second
lunch:
it is the filling of the carnal desires
of the stomach kind
in the middle of the day,
the replenishing
of vital energy
lost in the turmoils
of the work day
part, third
dinner:
it is the end of the eatings
of the day of this,
it is the gathering
of the families,
sitting in union of conversations -
when the day is finished,
the fast begins
epilogue
someone ran over my foot
"not to be rude or anything,
but about how much does your car weigh?"
"oh, about as much as two and half
tons of feathers"
about two and a half tons of feathers,
two and a half tons of feathers,
two and a half tons of feathers,
tons of feathers,
tons of feathers,
tons
