I'm hungry. You want something to eat?
In the desert / I saw a creature, naked, bestial, / Who, squatting on the ground, / Held his heart in his hands, / And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?” / “It is bitter -- bitter,” he answered; / “But I like it / Because it is bitter, / And because it is my heart."
So, Korean food, then?
