two
children sitting at a
bus stop
on the
sidewalk, on each others'
laps
hands to each others' faces, fingers in each others' mouths
suckling frantic
gaining a deeper knowledge of their insides
deeming it good, wholesome, nourishing
hungry beyond words, not having been satiated for sixteen long years
but settling for only a taste.
"Life is a feast
and most poor suckers are starving to death!"
eat it up !
