Hunger for reading

dissimilar of homework

novitiate and

to his, “I’m thirsty” midnight;

reading, here begets hunger

Prompts…  and what to the

wonderous gastrome should appear

(and does!) but the seg-

fermented platter “obscene”

delight - mango, persimmon

plantain-like-bmanna

star fruit (doin’ carambola)

papaya, quince, hints

of apple in sinopome

kiwi to all ripe

read-y, this heady

bouquet…  uncommon lunch, brunch

munched like a picnic

sliced away, from vinegar

Drosophila Melanogaster

Like bounty, breadfruits

abundant to an ample

sea, fruits who labor

sweet and acrid repartee

dissuaded not for love’s glee 

Reading for hunger

this thirst enquenched by Poets

knowits; and like the

apricot grain salves, eager

eye to life’s light, T’berius.
