Morsel of Biomass

Negligible morsel of biomass my fat belly, formerly abs insignificant yet it occupies me hourly while bored or hungry. Fat is what? a picture of despair, giving up caring or man out of balance, other side of the world's starving mass, case of the soul's malnutrition industrial agriculture, television supermarkets, vacations, hydrocarbons and the grid. Electricity, urban traffic jams, photons at final rest. Sugars synthesized, abundant plastics to carry them home in. Into your house and into your mirror. Memorizing the periodic table and learning the calculus makes one no thinner. Walking the mountain in heat and cold and rain, alone or in fire crews should do it. And a healthy fear of death. A laugh a day at sex and pain and fate which renews the biomass I hate.
