I Need To Eat
As a man, I'm thinking
and as a man, I'm shrinking,
thinking I should get back to the gym,
and get some food in me,
before I dissapear prematurely,
because although it's ok to be whispy,
or ethereal in verse, I probably won't survive,
If I eat just twice a day,
and small portions at that
of barbecue meat and scattered fruits,
swallowing pills with coffee
and large helpings of sugar
to aid my cigarette addiction...
that may be the life a poet,
but even poets are human.
