[bodytext] => Pleasure-seeking creatures breathe To live, of course, and to avoid suffering of the flesh Every inhale confirms this impulse Mother’s lap and soothing touch made us accustomed to comfort Would you sit on an electric chair to get skinny, or rich? Hours of lightning waves instead of hamster-nights on the treadmill Sounds easy, if self-improving pain was inflicted by a machine and not oneself Rejecting the upward trend of human growth, many believe hedonism is the solution Behold, the 90-pound junkie with the needle shrine, the 400-pound attacker of the fridge The bulimic bow to the porcelain queen, and the semiannual God-fearer The rosy pull for ecstasy, the crimson-craving flash The paper scratch for paper, and the thief’s copper caper The baby-makers-for-baby-daddies, the green-grippers, coupon-clippers, and the page-flippers The message was in the bottle before you tipped it- it was chilling in the fridge too Crack open another, I’m sure that’s where it’s hiding Cycles are what remains when time is stripped away At day-break or day-late, just keep it moving.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
