I still do not understand
how people can have weight issues
that are not paired to their genetic make up.
I have a hard enough time, as it is,
making time to make food,
let alone setting aside the time
to actually eat it.
Lately, maybe sadly,
I have the time to prepare it,
the time to store it,
the time to reheat it
and make it edible again,
but no time to actually put it
in my body.
I thought I was brilliant
when I reduced it all
to fluids, but apparently
that road leads
to shitting out your guts
and death
and while I am prepared
to die, I am not prepared
to die by violent diarrhea.
So I am making an effort to eat
things that nourish
and coddle my frame
in ways that I can't actively
or subconsciously pursue. However,
if your problem is a problem
of too much consumption
the solution is
that you are not adequately invested
in your own potential.
Do more. Make more. Destroy
and then build. And then
watch the world you knew
the comfort of the known
melt away like
frost on a windshield
as you pick up and learn
what it is to really taste speed.
