Hungry Again (and again)

Adam and Eve woke up

They were hungry

and so they ate

and six hours later

they were hungry again (from a story by John Shea)

hungry Adam

hungry Eve

hungry Stephen

hungry all of us

that hungering dark

we are always hungry

and thus

always searching

grasping

striving

Christmas comes and we buy

New Years comes and we party

The new day dawns and we resolve

to do things better

this year

and still the hunger returns

until

until

we find the bread of the world

the bread for all

until we taste

and see

and it is good
