Love You use it like a currency One coin — after another — when slipping through the mouth of a vending machine is no longer enough You shove and pound on! Until I gag: moneysecurityopportunitysuccesspridepowerstatusdreamshappinessthingsthingsthingsdeadthings When I ask You: “Do You regret gambling away in me the Life that was promised to You   as a wasteful investment when my open hand holds only Disappointment?” You answer with conviction suffices to convict me “Blood is thicker than water so I will try harder” as I swallow — each — and — every — — well — meaning — copper — flood my throat in the ****** beautiful taste of Love Love Love Love Nothing but Love. I shall never starve for Love if only I had the stomach for such Food.

What the heir hungers for
