motive---for it creeps in, seemingly
indiscriminately...

Potato chip, I love you up,
my darling little buttercup.

A cup! A Reese’s chocolate one
with peanut butter. Oh, what fun!

delightful cheese to tease my lips.

My lips around a hamburger,
with onion...

Buy in fully
Claim the flesh body 
as well as the spiritual body
Pay enough attention to it 
That it does not die from neglect
Feign interest in it.

To like yourself,...
