Jalisco # 17 by Yesenia Obrador

I enjoy eating until I'm about
to vomit. I stuff my face and stomach
with duck and sushi until an amount
of food that puts a curve into my back
is eaten. The reason I eat so much
is that I feel a need to beat the joint
by eating a dollar amount a touch
higher than what they've charged up to the point
that my stomach is ready to send my
food right back up my throat and all over
the table or toilet, wherever I
happen to be, wherever I hover.
Today I beat the buffet, tomorrow
I'll make another buffet feel sorrow.
