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
