You ignored the fried okra dipped in ketchup,
And chicken fried steak with gravy;
Thinking only of the hunger to come
You didn’t touch the triple bacon cheeseburger;
Steak Fajitas;
Saucy Barbeque or white bread;
Remembering the tang of blood as his body dragged behind your pick-up truck
You couldn’t stomach
The rootbeer;
Old fashioned vanilla ice cream or
Peanutbutter fudge,
Mocked by fleeting sweetness
