cravings

i want a pitcher of wine, on the rocks.
no , maybe icecream now...
i can taste the creamy rich calories
melt on my tongue.
aaargh, maybe less stones?
a cup of mixed juice cocktail?
well, urm...please be patient
my mouth's watering for nuts.
i cant take this off my mind,
i think i may go crazy if i dont huv a plate of fries!
pick up the phone, please! i really need some cassava

no cabbage and coolie flower on my mind now
and with a pinch of salt i could do
with boiled potatoes
raw tomatoes
baked beans.
fried onions
lotsa lotsa pepper.

donuts, pancakes cooked over an open fire
cakes with yourghurt, soft and fresh...
ummmm meat balls, brandy balls
poridge fermented and brown
peas, cocoa yum...

forget that list,
i cant stand food
who am i kidding?
all i want
all i really want
is you.
pick up the phone
please tell me, please
please tell me you still want me.
