Cornish

I cup it in my hand like a puppy. Its tanned, supple skin is faintly shiny, soft.

I put it back in the brown paper bag and push the bag to the further edge of my desk. A scent of it escapes and coils through the air towards my nose.

Secret longing, sweet, secret lust.

    A real one and not a nasty cheese & onion fakery? Eat it before it goes cold. Greasy flaky fingers.

    As real as you can get in this time zone. Real enough that it’s just as good cold. Real enough to make the rest of the world seem like a passing fancy, a mere shade, a whim, a dream.

    Although, on reflection, I prefer my foodstuffs to be compared to puppies as little as possible.
