BAD YOU BOTH

I see you
and
I think of chocolate.
What is this Pav-loving response where
I see something as sweet
as succulent
as one such as you and
I just begin to drool?

Am I so basic
so primitive?
Do I equate such hungry urges
with one another
and need such simple satisfaction?

Maybe there is something more.
Maybe I know
that you
like chocolate:
keep me up at night
require regular intake
make me bigger?

Or maybe I know
how bad you both are
for one such as I?

I don’t know.
I do know
that I see you
and
I think of chocolate
and hunger for nothing else.
