Why Your Dining Table Is Not Mine

As you know, I am fasting today 
And fasting was never a lighter chore for me 
Craving sugars, coffee mugs, all those, all of these 
Serenity prayer, and I kept myself ongoing. 
 
Every fever has a hype, this one too. 
I just thought that the thermometer was a gift 
a glassed space with mercury indicator 
to remission the degree of expiation 
the world needs. 
 
Though, the world, I thought, is still in the first phase 
phase I construction zone, happening in mind space.
