I am Fasting.
Reality exists only in the human mind
So, I wish to explore mine and see what I can find.
Such dedicated research needs minimal distraction
I must fast and look upon pastry as wretched putrefaction.
Although nauseated and queasy, the first day is easy
I can go 24 hours without food and whisky sours.
Day two is strange, as daily habits are re-arranged
Not a good day, I think, to take my Glock pistol down to the range.
Day three kicks in and I have visions of donut sin
But I bear it and grin…I will not give in
I know from experience day 4 turns the corner
I replace food with prayer…I’m a human transformer!
