Food is energy
refreshing the body
fueling the mind
powering the aura

          There are few times I
          do in fact eat
          and those times I realize
          how vital it is

The energy it provides
The focus it gives
The inspiration it donates

     Looking around i see
     their faces.
     Those morning faces,
     staring straight ahead with
     grim looks on their mugs.
     No thought son their minds
     either than the food
     which consumes them.

I spot a friend.
Wet hair
uncomprehensioned look
dressed and prepared for the day
ahead the day of unknowing

          Trying to prepare for nothing
          for that which doesn't really exist
          Yet...

Now I'm shaking,
A broken man
trying to sift the pieces back
together

     Back together
