There's something in my mouth,
far-reaching to my soul,
and I can't utter a prayer His way.
I taste the colors,
and I know it tastes worldly
in the worst ways.
Yet it satiates
in the most horrible ways
(Like a child on Christmas
who loves his candy.
He knows there is still
a holiday ham
that could fulfill him
in the real way.
But what child would resist?).
