A poem I started eating because I was hungry
I tried writing a prose poem.
I began writing this poem in the morning, but I was too hungry to focus. Frustrated, I went to the pantry and fridge and both were overflowing. I ran anyway. Midway through, my stomach growled with desire like an aimless streetcar as I dug in my hydration vest for food, and gulfed a bar. My time ended up being minutes off my goal pace. While cooling down stretching, I opened up Hinge and checked my likes — zero. After, I went to my virtual appointment with my therapist. At night I tried to sleep, but I was too hungry. Then I took a bite of this poem. All my thoughts became swimming salmon jumping through the river in my mind. Soft pinkish flesh melted in my mouth. All the miles I ran tasted like striated jerky. The flavour complemented the savory arial eleven point font. All the profiles I looked through became pesky gummy bears, that went into hibernation between my teeth. I had to floss those out along with the periods and commas. The therapy conversations tasted like elaborate tangled udon noodles that I had to blow on, to cool down before taking a bite. With my hunger satisfied, I looked for something to quench my thirst. |
Great fun. Inventive, and stuffed full of tasty morsels that I will suck on for some time.
