hungry

At times like this:
When there's no work to do
When I've read the next chapter
When I've checked the items off the list
When I've finished the book.
When I have baked and I have cooked: I am hungry.

Hungry for something else.
Hungry for a new adventure.
Sit, sit, sit on the bench, sure,
But you will never remember
What they took from you.
The working and the reading and the checking and the finishing and the baking and the cooking--
You're not normal, and you hunger
For the words danger danger danger.
