When I sit before you, stranger, 
I know how much time you'll need 
to bury the distance between us. 
You are at the peak of your intelligence 
and I am at the peak of my banquet. 
You are deliberating how to begin flirting with me, 
and I, 
under the curtain of my seriousness, 
am already done devouring you.
