garbage picker

My stomach grumbles, as do I saying "I'm done, throw this away." Shoveling a picked apart parcel of pulp, placed pleasantly in front of me paces previously, back into the bakers basket All I could do was try to taste this treat, as it constantly tantalizes my taste buds I reach a treaty with Me each day again I say "I'm done, throw this away" Then again, it will probably always whisper from the waste basket so maybe it's okay for me to love just the voice? So Maybe it's okay for me to love just the crumbs? Maybe it's okay. No, no no It's okay "I'm done Throw this away"
