my body reacts against healthy eating
sixty years of culture
pushing junk down my throat
resists the attempt
to reacquant my body with food
that nurtures me
the mind that controls me
filled with a thousand experiences
of caramel wafers and endless snacks
will not countenance rebellion
from the wishy-washy lets-get-healthy
new kid on the block
even though he's been on the block
for twenty years or more.
eat junk and die satisfied it says
only instant gratification matters
but tonight and tomorrow
I'll try again
