“But I enjoy eating these days. More of us do than care to admit it
publicly. I revel in it, as one only revels in pursuits one does not need. The
runner enjoys running when she need not ee a lion. Sex improves when
decoupled—sorry—from animalist procreative desperation (or even from
the desperation of not having had sex in a while, as I’ve had cause to note
after my recent two decades’ sojourn and attendant dry spell).
I bite blueberry pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, extra butter—that
expanding u, the berry’s pop against my teeth, butter’s bloom in my
mouth. I explore sweetnesses and textures. I’m never hungry, so I don’t
race to the next bite. I eat glass, and as it cuts my gums, I savor minerals,
metals, impurities; I see the beach from which some poor bastard
skimmed the sand. Small rocks taste of the river, of rubbed sh scale, of
glaciers long gone. They crunch, crisp, celery-like. I share the sensation
with fellow acionados; they share theirs with me, though there’s lag, and
sensor granularity remains an issue.
So, a roundabout way of saying: I love to eat.”
