New York LAss

by Timothy Somers

She takes small bites,
like not wanting too much taste
in her mouth,
and chews the same two teeth,
thirty-eight times.
Measured, clocked, with
lost grandmother approving.

She won’t talk while chewing,
won’t chew while talking,
like her sex,
not wanting too much passion in her mouth,
lest it take her digestion
out of order.

She took small bites,
of me.

I left.

Interesting, bold piece. You tie it together nicely, especially with the two last lines, I thin that was the main idea.. of something taken from you. Great read.
