_Table Manners_

He looked up at the people
 Sitting also at the table They were so much bigger than
he

All of them ate their dinner

He looked at their eyes
 So intent and so purposeful So lacking in dreams Unlike
his own

He looked at their hands
 So clean, so efficient Weaving and cleaving So fast, so
clever

He looked at his hands

On one hand was chutney and lentils
 And smeared pickle Little drops of water from
sliced cucumber; And the desire to be like the big people

On the other, was some oil from cooked potatoes
 And little grains of rice, along
with White specks of wheat on his fingers; And the strong urge to lick his fingers,
to eat slowly

The big people told him that he must learn to eat with one hand.
