Overloaded tortured table, stunning silver, growing feast, smells good.

Stomach grumbling, mouth drooling, tongue twitching, can’t          

                                   

                                                                                    Wait

 

Chairs scraping, people plopping, napkin down, fork up.

Lungs inhaling, body calming, face grinning, then it

 

                                                                                    Starts

 

Crunch, Cough, Swish, Belch

Neck tensing, ears pricking, nose wrinkling, just

 

                                                                                    Ignore it

 

Clang, Crumble, Smack, Slurp.                                           

Hands sweating, heart racing, eyes blurring. stay

 

                                                                                    Calm

 

Gargle, Crunch, Grind, Gulp

Foot twitching, hand raising, mouth covering, teeth grinding

                                               

                                                                                    Breathe

 

Slurp-suck-lick-sigh

Ears ringing, head screaming, eyes rolling, stomach folding

 

                                                                                    Stop!

 

Fork down napkin up plate pushed

 

                                                                                    Relief
