paraphrased from a quote from William Borroughs......_________________________________________________________________________
If We Froze With A Fork In Our Hand Before we took the bait and just before the bite before we enveloped it with our hungry breath before the mindless flap of our coated tongues before we smashed it with a new set of porcelain teeth, and the day to day grind of our cracking jaws. How about, if we just took a second to simply pause?

Enjoyed this...If I froze with a fork in my hand...hmm, maybe we would be more thankful for our food, think of others who are less fortunate than we, maybe we wouldn't overeat, or maybe we would slow down and enjoy the taste of our food instead of engulfing it...don't know but your write has given me much to think about. Great job!
Blessings,
