No Heisenbergian uncertainty today,
to prevent existential upset at having to choose between eating or starving:
deliberately left my purse at home
Hunger assured, coffee with sweetener,
green tea - a packet of instant soup lite -
one rice cake, the rest up to Providence,
time to exercise spiritual muscles
My stomach is notoriously material and
gluttonous, no amount of praise for holy
restraint ever deterred my intestines from
hefty complaint when I try to forgo food
Today I’m hopefully doing penance for
multiple sins, steering clear of the worst
in covetousness watching my colleagues
feasting on biscuits and fruit…
