you beg me for food
you stare
you moan
……food
you come up to me and peer into my
occupied place
i am busy
you are hungry

i will not let you starve
your back is toward me
you are taunting me
you check to see if i am looking
then you try to chew on something
that is not food
it is plastic
or rubber
you want food
i will not let you starve
