happy meal(s)

i tried to skirt around it
ignored it for days
skipped away

didn't want to think
too much about it

but it hasn't gone away
i can't help it

i feel rejected
and i want to be alone

so i can face it
eat it, and
swallow.

***

on the other hand,
i know what i want
and i want what i know

i have had sinigang
five times in seven days
but not in a row ;)
