Individual Portions
Chiao's NotebookIndividual portions
For lonely patrons.
Miniature scones,
Tiny cookies.
They don't serve these here.
They disregard the lonely people.
Presenting them with
Too-big muffins and
Over-iced cupcakes.
These would be most fit to share.
But when the cookie's too large
Or the energy-bar too rich,
The lonely person has to take
Half home or leave
Unfinished bits on the plate.
Lonely people
Are the most underestimated.
Maybe they deserve
A larger portion, but
Giving it to them
Only emphasizes
How alone they really are.
