Couch pasta

If eating on my couch is a shortcoming, then perhaps we need to rethink our standards.

If eating on my couch is a shortcoming,
then perhaps we need to rethink our standards.
Does a table provide
some mark of approval,
that a proper meal
has taken place?
If I’m eating by myself,
do you really expect me to sit alone
at my dinner table
and stare out the window?
Maybe pondering the life choices
that have led me here?
Or would it be okay for me …
