every time i walk into a banquet hall
joining a company of female
and male celebrating the gifts of life
i return with a heavy heart
and a load preventing my sleep
blocking also my speedy dream
superficiality like shallow water
in the river of civility
and hypocrisy, the dark backwater
of learned bunch
smart inside my heart
also affecting my wit
like the way my gut
suffers after i have eaten
tasty food wherein black pepper
powder is sprayed in excess
in diet served as banquet food
