“Hungry vs. Hunger Pains”
Travel interrupts mealtimes,
Different time zones leave nourishment empty,
Hunger between layovers,
Different global regions,
Hunger with different tastes buds,
Undefined body aches,
Empty digestion,
Abdomen muscles contort seeking food,
Discomfort like glass panes that shattered inside,
Hunger in the bones,
Hunger fatigue,
Hunger pains,
Body calls for nourishment,
Malnutrition does not compare,
Cultures traveling miles by foot for food,
Accepting crumbles of bread,
Nothing suffices for food as malnutrition seeps through the pores,
Travel interrupts mealtimes,
[This reflection is based upon a recent travel adventure by air (4 hour flight) and into a different time zone; and, finding myself very hungry while staying in a 5-Star hotel and wondering about those outside the hotel complex earning just enough, or not enough, to eat]
