eating here stateside is hard to define
much more than cheese wedgies, veggies and meat
or drive-thru fast foods on most any street
choosing food from signs while waiting in line
we dress to the nines with waiters and wine
snack between meal treats of anything sweet
on a bar stool seat sit waiting to eat
it can be fine not to dine by design
we eat with our hands at hamburger stands
we graze the buffet while filling our tray
from various brands from various lands
from breakfast souffl� to evening sorbet
our waists expand as we eat on demand
we eat our way here in the USA
