with the thin people
reaching over the table
with a fork
and taking something off
of your plate
without so much as a polite,
do you mind?
they've usually ordered
salmon
and asparagus,
no bread, no butter,
no salt or sugar.
if you wanted the fried chicken.
get the chicken.
if you wanted what i'm
drinking, get that too.
they are quick to spoon
into your dessert.
before the waiter sets it
down. you see that look
in their eyes, and hear
the gurgle in their hungry
stomachs.
they can't wait to get home
where they can actually
eat behind closed doors.
