Habitual grazing -

Mind my overly generous phrasing

Truth is, I’m a fat cow.


Plump but out of season,

Binging for no reason,

Yes -

A miserable little moo.


Nothing better to do?

No.

Fast, I need food -

Look,

I’m just not in the mood.


Okay?


Come on! Clog my artery,

Let me be the casualty -

If eating is an act of killing? Anyway

Sure do think so,

Seems so - I’m willing. I’ll lay,


Chilling

Carcasses.

Sour, spoilt, milk, eggs,

Deserving all that I get,

Drowning my dread.

My empty indulgence -

My swapped stomach and head.

 
 
 

Little yolk bubbles of

Tangerine swimming pools

Soft egg-shell shores

Holding polka principles.

Keeping in place

For an impending pop

Toast, stand to order!

Aim for the dot.

 
 
 

Positively,⁣

Honestly,⁣

Sensitive⁣.

To every. little. ripple...

The stickler⁣ -

Of my Hope,⁣

Endurance⁣

And⁣

Patience.⁣

I do it too much, you know?

Waste my time.⁣

Caught between a wanting so bad,⁣

And a needing for nothing at all.⁣

Tall order.

Constant doubt.⁣

The willingness to ride the wave,⁣

Yet happy to go without.⁣

One day I’ll pout

Tout the audience before me -

Next day the drought ⁣

Helps to water the tree.⁣

Everyday the changing⁣

Rearranges my outlook,

Most my time,

I’d much rather⁣,

Write my short lifetime book...

Pepper it with words⁣

Versed quiet and quaint;

Speak to the world - patiently,

Between the lines I paint.⁣⁣
