Bulimia. [41509]

Who
Are you?
I want to get to
Know you…
You seemed so interesting
Standing in the lunchroom,
An intense stare on the choices surrounding you.
Turkey or beef?
You seemed so torn
I wanted to run over and choose for you,
So you wouldn’t have to.
I know what you’re feeling,
What you can’t decide
Haven’t decided what you want yet,
What you should get and what you want to get.

I know what the
Feeling is like, darling.
Food
Disgusts
Me, I know it
Disgusts you,
Too.

You spent too much
Time, thinking
About which has less
This
And less
That.
You panicked, thinking,
are people staring at me? They know…
You choose beef in
A hurry.

I watched you
Scramble
To the lunch table, eyes
Darting
Back and
Forth,
I know what you’re thinking.
are people watching me eat?

You caught
My eye.
I nodded slightly, and your
Eyes became glassy.
I blinked.
Look down.
You were gone.
