What Asian delicacies
have you set forth upon my table?
Free range birds; smooth yellow-brown skin;
perhaps slightly underdone.
Oh, the fragrance spewing!
Such an arresting presence;
surely good enough, if not too good, to eat;
tender curves and dainty features
quietly portraying a most honorable lineage;
lean legs supportive of finely trimmed thighs;
firm yet supple *******.
Shall I feel guilt or remorse
if these striking beauties were to succumb
to my gluttonous comportment? Undoubtedly.
Do I have the strength and resolve
to do what is right? Most certainly.
Chopsticks, please,
before they take flight.
Cibo Matto is an eclectic music group formed in 1994 by
two Japanese women. The band performs songs of food and love.
Cibo Matto means "food madness" in Italian. The poem, "Know
Your Chicken," is a reference to the song of that name found on
the group's "Viva! La Woman" CD.
