Hunger
In the house I wait
at the table with my pen
using paper bait
How can you write it
in black and white, how you feel
just by sitting still
Pen has expired
Paper will sit in awe
Wild typewriter feeds
When will you be here
and bring my anxious soul to rest
with some food my dear
crawfish, shrimp and fish
hunan chicken and fried rice
please fill up that dish
lo mein rice noodles
egg roll spring roll cheese puff treat
cholesterol rich
sadness fills my mind
sadness fills
my mind
