The Pause that Refreshes

I crave the untouchables that I used to unblinkingly devour.
I hunger after the movies, the books, the tastes of my childhood.
The ones that, have over time, climbed the tree
to become forbidden fruits. 
I miss the guiltlessness of watching, reading, swallowing --
of savoring my culture bath
of pruning from a long soak.
