If We Froze With A Fork In Our Hand
Before we took the bait
and just before the bite
before we enveloped it with
our hungry breath
before the mindless flap
of our coated tongues
before we smashed it
with a new set
of porcelain teeth,
and the day to day
grind of our cracking jaws.
How about,
if we just
took a second
to simply
pause?
