"ENLIGHTENMENT IS: DO what
you want
eat what there is…"
—Jack Kerouac
Bananas go bad on the table and there's a bag of rotten broccoli in the sink for composting. Cooked burgers for lunch. (Grass fed, free range). Got Hot Tot K to eat rice crackers and goat cheese—a minor feat of patience. Sixty per cent of Americans are over-weight, warned NPR last week. Saw on TV inside Donald Trump's pantry where there he stored Ragoo spaghetti sauce jars and Campbell's soup. I was a fat kid. Gorged on pies and Hostess refined flour, gumming my teeth with sweets and soft drinks. Now it's beer and coffee keeps me thin.
There's too much food.
So what
do I do?
Give it away
to maggots and worms.
Whatever it is
breeds warm
in the sweet smelling macro-
cosmic earth.
