I Am My Lunch

One meal, chewed
...slowly on the left
side of my mouth. If I could

......eat your words,
I would and I would
....tell you all about it.

The bottle cap says,
...."I am Grateful."
And I am, but I

...forgot, so
...I think sometimes objects
know more than I do.

.........This chant won't
leave my ears: Ong Sohung, or
..."I am thou." I am

and you are
...and we will let
the words remind us .

..while we chew
them slowly, with
......a sore and battered mouth.
