Love Affair

A Poem by h1ghstrung
"

Read on, you will understand

"

{   People gasp, gaze, even glare
A fat man sits and eats
(That's the LAST thing HE needs)  }

jealousy, their jealousy

I feel their stares
piercing my back as I chew.
They will never understand

I do not dine
I do not eat
Food is not sustenance

Food is an event
A wonderful palette of flavor and aroma
A ballet across my tongue
