no appetite for late night destruction of health
no more ignored ingredient and nutrition labels
for the feeding if the moment
though occasionally there's still the late night sweet tooth
that sneaks up on you when you've had too much salad
the one that sends you to the fridge to pull it open, stare
pull it open, stare
pull it open, stare
third times a charm in realizing that the cupboard's bare
funny how at these times it can be full
and feel bare
what happened to kool-aid and oreos
what happened to dipping unhealthy foods
into dips that make them even more so
my arteries are clogging
heart barely beats through sluggish rhythms
however my mental veins are flowing
and my heart strings are starting to untangle
so i'll hold off on that trip to the hot spot
for tonight
just for old time's sake
read my first four short poems
