delicious food's second greatest hit - "precious foods"

here it is, jerks! delicious food has written a follow up to the number one greatest hit, "Deep Fried." I must admit, my mood was very different for this one. "Deep Fried" reflected much of my happiness regarding delicious food, and the wonderful experiences surrounding it. Last night, however, my mood was darker, deeper...more desperate. Dark enough, in fact, to be inspired Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos of all things. and that, my friends, is some dark shit. at least if you're 15. which i'm not. i'm just sayin'...

call it an angry, angst-filled rant. call it my proverbial cry for help. call it brilliance (actually i would prefer if you call it brilliance. let's be honest here, most of what i write is pure brilliance). call it what you will. frankly, i call it greatness. i call it....

"Precious Foods"

So I ate fasterbut it caught me here. Yes my stomach turnedlike the yogurt up in the fridge. Right next to the pickles, underneath the mayonaise.

These precious foods. cheesesteaks, rice and beans and corn. These precious foods, guacamole, crunchy bacon bits.

He said youre really a hungry girl...and I like the way you chew. And I died. But I thanked him. Can you believe it? I chomp, chomp, holding on to that chicken, that chicken leg.

I wanna smash my face in, into that beautiful cake, that birthday cake, so you can make me eat, that doesnt make you je-e-sus.

These precious foods. cheesesteaks, rice and beans and corn. These precious foods, guacamole, crunchy bacon bits.

I remember grits in my peach cobbler days, no one cared, no one dared to tell me where the collard greens are...those butter beans.with their sweet iced tea and little butter biscuits tucked inside the picnic basket of my heart.

These precious foods. cheesesteaks, rice and beans and corn. These precious foods, guacamole, crunchy bacon bits.

Precious...precious
