a few finger foods before dinner

i can't eat
all of that. impossible.
my eyes
are bigger than my stomach.
i loosen up
my sansa-belt stretch pants
and go for it.
i'm bursting
with nuts
of all kind.
cashews, walnuts, 
honey roasted nuts,
those big
nuts you have
to crack open
with that metal
cracker thing.
i'm almost full and it's an
hour before dinner
begins.
ten olives,
stuffed with crab meat
and three stalks
of celery filled with
cream cheese
has bloated me.
what's that over there,
oysters?
really, okay,
maybe just a few.
