Have you ever eaten a meal?
I finished one about an hour ago.
It was angel hair pasta, with tomato sauce
Strewn with crushed parsley leaves
And drizzled with lemon juice.
I used my tongue to press each warm, floppy noodle against the roof of my mouth and my teeth.
I walked
Quickly as I chewed
Since I was late.
By the time I finished,
The January outside made the last noodle a mini rubber hose inside my mouth.
