Gulping Up

There exists in this existence
two distinct
consumer types
in the common quest
for human sustenance

Those who sensibly sip
to savor every taste
for maximum satisfaction
of the discerning palate

These smug denizens
of discriminating propriety
perpetually analyzing
the foamy quality
of their favorite mocha lattes

On the other end
of the consumption spectrum
are the blue collar 
ravenous gulpers
seemingly in a race
to get to the end of it

I must confess
you will find me on Team Gulp

We who roll with indigestion
as penance for our impatience
will belch
in your condescending face
if you dare lecture us
about our impetuous 
life choices
