Sick

I read about food and it makes me sick

And my stomach hurts

And my throat clutches in

Food.

It's around me all the time.

A relative abundance, I might add.

I'm not even thinking of those starving

When I say I'm not hungry.

No matter the type

Sugary foods

and savory foods

and spicy and bitter and bland foods

They disgust me

And make me sick

my throat closes in around myself.

My stomach hurts.

But even if I were to be sick.

There is no food

Not for me

Because the simple thought of it

Makes me sick
