Control
it’s funny how
we choose
with our choices
take a plate
for example
each day
morning
noon
night
we take our empty plate
and fill it
with whatever we like
and sit or stand somewhere
and consume it
how do we feel after
years after
what is the effect
of choice
was it poison
or medicine
we took
food should heal you
never hurt you
it should energize you
not suck the living life out of you
how many special occasions
weekends, holidays, vacations
had-a-bad-day-so-I-went-and-ate-it
does it take
to make somebody so sick
and tired
they can’t breathe right
walk down the street right
sleep at night right
it seems simple enough right
they say 80 percent
is in the kitchen
and 20 percent
is in the sweat
I say 100 percent is self
controlled
