it was mostly word play with the idea of "ony my mind as i eat" which would suggest that the subject is on my mind during most other trivial activities. however, "as i eat" would have disrupted the flow of the poem and the rhyme scheme. however, looking back, it kinda messes with the next line of Unwed Wife. i'll look into it, thanks for the feedback
