Eat.

46. 

Sometimes a toothpick is the most important thing, 

others, a roll of toilet paper. If you forget red wine

and garlic you’ll become honky, new age incense 

dressed in invisible taffeta. Eat meat or not,

try weighing your virtue on that bathroom scale 

right after you crap and shower. You’re just a tree

that grows shit, not fruit. Your high horse is dead meat.
