scraping salsa off a festive snowman infested paper plate I asked myself about the meaning of life my last tortilla chip cracked under the pressure of my thoughts and I was left with salty finger tips and a half empty stomach I guess when you’re living in personalized, small-sized pizza of a school the food is never filling and questions are never answered No matter how many times I tell myself I know what I’m doing, I wake up every morning just as lost at the day before cracking my dreams like chips, bitter as the salt on my finger tips, I’ve become a half empty stomach impossible to fill one of these days I’ll be a home-cooked meal— mashed potatoes salted just right, sweet biscuits that crumble, never crack— iced tea with the taste of sugar, just enough to savor, I swear I could go on forever about my idealized platter that one day I will feast on in my confident contentment.

You are What You Eat
