Mid-Forties

They say
it is somewhere around the midpoint
of a lifetime.

Then what does noon
look like
in the course of a day?

I’m hungry.

What should I eat?

What do I like?

What can I eat?

Who should I eat with?

Who can I eat with?

I hunger.

In many cases,
time heals.

Hunger, however,
may need to be handled
as an exception.
