The Starchtarian

probably had their heart set on consuming only greens, probably thought that’d they’d shed the pound, might’ve been a resolution for the new year, might’ve been a sudden love of animals that led them to getting rid of anything that hung in their wardrobe, that they washed their heads with, rubbed all over their body or stuffed in their stomachs--- might’ve been a life growing up of meat n’ potatoes & a sudden assertion of freedom to eat whatever the **** they wanted, once they left the nest, might’ve been a movie that showed the cruelties done to animalkind by humankind that shocked the *****out of em’, might’ve just been a want for a change & on the micro, up came vegetarianism. in the short range, they stuck to the program, they shoveled in the carrots, the lettuce, the cukes, the tomatoes, the celery, the green peppers, the yellow, the orange, the red & along with the veggies came a long list of fruits, to try to pull a fast one on that sweet tooth with natural sugars. seemed like it could last forever, before being confronted with that first source of starch, which isn’t against the vegetarian law--- though most will say that they eat mostly vegetables, they be lying through their teeth--- so with this, more breads, more cereals, more grains, more cinnamon buns, more potato chips, more cheese pizzas, more breadsticks, more bagels, etc. weasels its way into the life of this vegetarian, whose life becomes more of a dedication to the starches than the veggies, for they fill the stomach, for they are easier to get (available at every fast food place---a la sugars, fats, starches & barely any veggies anyway) & said vegetarian better face up to what it is that they’ve really become, a starchtarian.
