Every Morsel

Eat The table is ready Sit down And dine Stuff your face Ignore the growing chatter Silence your mind And devour  Cutlery is too loud Throw away your fork and knife Take it in your hands And consume  Tears slice across your cheeks Salting and flavoring your meal  Don't stop Keep gorging yourself On tonight's dinner Be a good piggy Pay no mind to the stares They're just jealous Of how full you will be When you finish  The final course arrives The scent carving a place in your nostrils  Sickness builds low Vomit gurgles beneath your uvula But it's almost over Quell your guilt And take the last bite Finish eating
