Food Or Medicine Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Food or medicine

Joyously feel my lips burn, swell
-truly like crops, in water on fire
-but it is due to eating pepper

Feel water when swirls
-on forehead, chin and cheeks
-to the roots of mustache, every hair

I finished my supper
-with the raw onion
-boiled two eggs, potatoes
-and pickles, vinegar in plate

I reject to take names
- "Meat-eater", "Rejecter"
-none of them! Just aware
-medicines are made same

Why should I see doctor?
-take tablets, injections
-while can be safe eater

Aye it using fork and plate
-pleasing was sweat

Cheap was food and tasty and easy
-tell me then why bother
-hell to them when can have…
