THE IDEA OF EATING
Bread is the staff of
life, but not my wifes' idea. Rice , pasta, potatoes
in all their forms piled plate upon plate my toes disappear. Once was, the whole of my feet visible from above but love of food changed
perspective. I dream of toast with butter melting my supper crumpets holes
filled with pastes Sweet hot tea that
soothes my craving. I hate this diet the
pangs of hunger how much longer must I
suffer. The clocks tick by in
endless repetition I feel empty. How long is it now since
doctors orders. The clock and I face to
face can I win this race. I shout at her, " you're my wife not
my mother" she replies "it's only been
an hour, try to do another." © 2017 MAD ENGLISHMANAuthor's Note
