Edacious
I eat my bad poetry like a goat, and
eat my good poetry like a gourmand.
Midlife midriff
Eating a lot of garbage and dessert-obsessive
for several months, I put on a few pounds,
— and more.
Waddling is hell, and fat is a problem for the heart;
— I’m hungry & in pain.
Waist weight is a cruel joke, and age is no help.

Saving y’all some time
After reading countless health books over the past couple of decades, I can tell you it pretty much all boils down to this: Eat plenty of veggies, work, play, rest, and don’t worry.
Overstuffed
An overstuffed belly can only speak of food. A fasting belly can speak of health and clarity.
Clear view
A fasting belly frees the mind.
