Masticating

Grinding chops on bloody beef
The athlete slobbers as he eats
Got to finish, race is near
Competition, taste the fear

It's you she says, in afterthought
While all confused and over wrought
Come feed me now and wipe my drool
Doors open, don't be a fool

But her mind's on another day
Rue Bourbon missed, love gone astray
And Royale calls, with oysters slick
I'll stay here, can't dip my wick

But one day soon the artists's call
Will conquer all the players tall
Tales of love and joy and heaven
We've got a date on Highway 7

She'll wear silk and denim blues
I'll have on my tennis shoes
But I won't run, not this time
I'll have some canapes and wine
