someone offers you a bite of freshly slaughtered bright bloodred raw liver

                                                                                     he was biting

she offered

was a girl after his own heart

                                    not that she was after his heart thatd be offal

he knew too many peopletoo many families who which he found awful threw away turkey giblets IM RIGHT HERE If you werent going to eat them why didnt you give them to me you know I eat organs

                                                                                         he understood it was cultural

he also understood it was economic

                                       however

when your one of eleven you eat whats served

didnt have to

could go hungry a night

wasnt gonna kill you

not eating helped him appreciate having something to eat 

                                                               something

something taught him that food was nothing more than fuel

he fueled once a day

     he preferred bitter or salty to sweet which wiped outexcept on occasion  desserts  baked goods icecream candies sodas

But that’s you. complained many he knew who felt they had to defend their tastes or eating

defend

         didnt get that

he admitted what HE preferred

                                  preference is defined “a greater liking for one alternative over another or others.” according to his New Oxford American Dictionary – Second Edition                                               

the text he keeps at hand

                              a lot of people dont prefer texts either

not technically savvy

neither was he

she was thrilled

he was thrilled by her

he preferred thrilled

                      thrill is “a sudden feeling of excitement and pleasure.”
