foliage; lunchtime

sprawling and spreading
constantly extending
creeping ever forward
voraciously hungry
a rising wave of foliage
coming to envelop all
where were you today?
I thought we were supposed to have lunch.
I waited for a half hour
nibbling on breadsticks
calling your phone, gettting your voicemail
if you didn't want to come
you could have told me you were busy
now I'm still hungry
especially for an explanation
