what is this?

she sniffed at the food
on her plate,

used her fork to move
things around, she

sipped carefully at the bottled
water,
not a crumb

or spoonful of anything touched
her lips.
she was wary and paranoid

of the meal.
of my intentions.
which were none.

but she inspected the food,

thinking the worst.
that she'd end up in pieces
in

a new jersey swamp or field.
oh well.

left overs for a week, for me.
