I sit and watch you eat your meal
A ritual of behavior
Occurring when presented with
The food you soon will savor
Your rice is tidily organized
The vegetables right beside it
Which all get mixed together
Before you’ve ever tried it
The biscuit’s torn to little shreds
Each piece gets carefully buttered
The space atop your plate becoming
Very, very cluttered
Your food is a complexity
That has to be defeated
It would be easier, instead
If you would simply EAT IT
