Appetites

There was morality in why women want, but emotional voids are consumed by consumerism and it’s redundant, but you can’t feed the starving food. These days you can’t find one not entranced by the idea of a “better orgasm diet,” and it sounds like they need to eat out more, but the Glamour in magazines is under empty stomachs and proof-labeled wine. So you find yourself at a cross, cross-eyed and in a skeletal body running in the rain. But if she wrote Drinking: A love story, and broke my heart, then she can fill voids with Hegel substitutions. She filled one with God and one with Zoloft. A baby escapes, escape that Burroughs found only in blow-jobs and booze( until he met a golden pig and finally blacked-in) And in the child’s first suckling moment “Let her be filled.”
