Food is Good

Taste is a little obese man
who grasps the restraints
ready to take total control
of your tongue.

Tonight he tarries overtime
Sweating out sweet and sour
in increasing increments as he
pushes buttons and pulls levers
in a tiny control room.

Each morsel of food is carefully careened
around your mouth
then swallowed
leaving behind a lingering aftertaste
pronounced: [dĭ-zīr'].
