What is given back?
When I chew
My oats
With crunchy walnuts
And sweet banana
And cinnamon
I feel a sort of
Grounded wave
Of happy.
My stomach
cheers.
My mouth is
On the edge of
smiling.
Calm, easy
Warmth.
My mind is
quiet.
Simply relishing
The sensations.

When I sip
My coffee.
An acidic feeling
Rises low in
My throat.
My mind
Perks up.
Intense.
A pinching
Feeling at my
temples.
My energy
Moves up
Between my
Heart and throat.
I lose the
Grounded easy
Feeling.
For a wave
Of mental
Vigilance.
I love them both.
The oatmeal
And the coffee.
But which one
Loves me back?
