Here is some FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
I’m feeling pizza
and jealous that Shaggy looking dude
sitting left from me
can scarf down three slices
without even thinking of the consequences
and I’m also feeling pasta
and sympathetic for that young girl
sitting right from me
struggling to feed her baby
with not a flinch of help from the baby daddy
I’m kinda craving too Chinese
and wondering if
all the food court furniture
and plastic silverware
is made in China
or more so I’m feeling ice cream
and the chill of the couple
across from me
who’s silence is louder
than the boy nearby screaming for a cone
I’m feeling also Mexican
and whether it’s right that
all the food court clean-up crew
is indeed-
Mexican.
I need something healthy
but realize that nothing
can be deemed truly healthy
at a food court-
I mean, nothing
I’m really feeling something fried
and absolutely angered
that folks waste food
and don’t put their trash
in the waste bins
Or maybe, I’m feeling Japanese
but I’ll be too lonely
eating steak and sushi
with chopsticks
all by myself
Hmmm… but I settle on good ol’ American
Yeah, a little this and that all on one plate…
I just hate it when folks just stick
to one ethnic cuisine
all the damn time!
