An eighth grade student, older like a year
The girl as if sheltered to my empty stomach
Like writa, a hunger impassable, but rice.
Not the baked bread crumbs, not fish, neither hominid.
Encumbered to the throat of an enormous flower - I remained
My head sprang out, seeking endlessly all and sundry hours.
Covetous young boys in torn shorts would incite me
My prejudiced hunger watched them gobble in vanity
