Pleading Pangs: Too Much Meat...

CATEGORY

Squatting—crouched mantis-like,

bloated balloon belly—

bloodshot eyes, and outstretched hands,

she whispered:

“Mister…Mister…help me.  Mommy’s dying…

Mommy’s dying with hunger, Mister.”

 

The ghost of starvation stares…silently smirking; assured.

Mister frowns, briefly rubs his hands, and briskly walks on.

 

Watching, I let out a loud scream and ran like a wild child.

Behind, a dog lapped-up the sandwich I had just thrown away;

my mommy had made the nasty thing with too much meat.
