dont use utensils
but scoop it up with your hands
one line at a time, please

wait at least 30 seconds to swallow
hold the line under your tongue
make sure you taste each word

feel where it goes as it travels down
does your throat burn
do you feel oceans in your eyes
or does your heart expand to every inch of your body

if you feel nothing dont force it
move on,
for if every line was life changing
there would be no constant life to live

there is a poem for everyone
just as everyone has a favorite food
how would you discover it
if you always ordered the same thing
