What do you think this poem is about?

idiosyncrasies of a middle-aged man

What you need
perhaps is
something crispy in you mouth
so that you
may endure
the scary thing about
emptiness

the mouth keeps
a sound
to please the teeth

to fill the mouth
to make the tongue
play
its inner games

something
crispy like a newly
printed
money

surely not perhaps
