THE EATERY

frustration

Earthquake of sound

cackling guffaws

plunges my hunger

into an abyss

pointless to omit

ignites fire in my brain

I shall depart this agony

seek quiet

turn to drink

in a cool neighborhood bar

Your poem reminds me of my vow to never go out to eat when I'm super hungry (i.e. grouchy). It's never as good as I had imagined it & there can be frustrations as you suggest. I love it when a poet identifies a perfectly honed slice of life experience & conveys it with originality (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

A "slice" of life to go - please. Ain't no room for pause or thought and the "silence" is so loud you're ears bleed.

Very descriptive words... a great write that I enjoyed a ton!
