Square Feethe was raised in a series of eight,
           learned to horde his helpings

she was raised on budgets and bottom
lines, warned to consider famines of families

his plate: a potpourri of leftovers
his stomach full and satisfied

hers: scraped clean, reflective
ready for washing

    The very core of your writing whilst appearing agreeable initially, did not work perfectly with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer but just for a short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do well to help fill in those gaps. If you can accomplish that, I would definitely be fascinated.
