Eat or just wish for food?

Eating nourishes and sustains us,

life begins with food.

Hankering accelerates into a hunger inside.

Being an autistic man I try

every day to actualize,

have more of what I desire.

I am simply too famined and

at mealtime I’m weary from starvation.

Eat nothing,

fattened at most by the smell of supper.

Pause, to eat in the company of love.
