body

the belly aching.
the food stuck like a fat cork.
mouthful of vomit.

health as largest wealth
from the garden of eden.
not man’s mad science lab.

the steps up my spine
worn thin by passage of time.
weight on my shoulders.

the legs churn over.
i make the lactic acid.
no sour milk for me.

eat the sun for health.
plant the seeds of compassion.
bloodless tummy grins.

the beautiful game.
twenty men chasing an egg.
green grass on the lam.
