Eating to escape the past

The Present

Chasing after the future

Seconds stretched out by

popping puffed up pastries

(1 potato – 2 potato – 3 potato

4! )

minutes measured by

mini muffin multi-packs

crammed into my mouth

(5 potato – 6 potato – 7 potato

8!)

times the number of minutes left to go.

Gotta keep up with the clock

Tick-Tocking , tock – ticking

Tock!

Cheerfully chewing on the chumped down chocolate bars waiting for -

(9 potatoe ) -

the greedily gulped down grape juice to settle

10!) -

steps exactly it takes to get to the bathroom

It all comes rushing back to me

Through me

into the welcoming white bowl

pristine – porcelain like purity

Subtly smelling

of grape.
