There are
seven letters in calorie,
eight if you care for another.
Watch: for an apple and two thirds,
it’s sixty-to-ninety for the greedy one,
unsliced, rotund, and therefore inestimable.
Also; salad is overrated. Two letters too many
for a couple flaccid leaves, meant for animals,
am I
an animal?
Will there ever be an excuse—
tear the raw stevia packets bludgeoned flat,
creaming, frothing white at the corners, knife
edge a harsh horizontal on my palm; it digs.
What for? Indulgence in its purest state;
why, it just happens to be
your outline
