Playing dangerous blood sugar games,
whole-wheat rusks with hot chocolate –
vision affected, drooping eyelids and head
A quick-fix with black, bitter coffee lasts only
a minute before symptoms of apathy and
catatonia return, another cup of coffee
To combat veins in head contracting; yesterday
I fled this scourge by eating in a restaurant but
being served blackened bacon and tepid chips
Prevents me from going back there, thus I have
this great war against fatigue in my little world,
reminds me of *Good Omens’ enormous halo
Keeping Adam’s world safe - I rejoice in mine,
having a small place of earth to love and cherish
is a privilege second to none, my inner sanctuary
Held in equilibrium by books & theories reworked
in the light of new ideas; is most accessible when
I’m in my special place on earth – hoping my
Work-station, another haven, will help me steady
my spinning mental gyroscope after these games
with wheat, sugar and caffeine…
