Number Food

The same weight
all day, three
pounds more than Friday night
when I devoured miniature
black bean burgers
& beer
brushed my teeth
devoured him. I am only
obsessed with numbers
as I am obsessed with food
waiting in my refrigerator. Tonight
I eat peanut butter
chocolate
Chinese stir-fry
marshmallows
nectarines
mango.
I ignore him;
his allergies. I sink
my teeth into almonds. I
think of my over-full refrigerator:
leftover pizza,
nearly fresh spaghetti,
open yogurt containers,
cold hot'n'sour soup. Wanting
to feast, voracious. Mouth
waiting, teeth and tongue
open.
