Bite BackA Poem by ClaireDesigned to be read aloud.
When you can't eat at night
can't eat bacon so you hide it in pockets When you squeeze the oil out of every fry you eat When each meal symbolizes every meal Order is disorder. When I met you I'd lived off this semichaos for three years already Fell apart again in your arms I showed you disorder And you fought it with an order of your own: "Breakfast." I swallow two pieces of toast and my pride every morning. © 2014 Claire |
