Occasionally I write things worth sharing. Here is a peice I wrote brought to you by my newest creative adventure

Chai Tea Latte

It Starts by hurridly saying "non-fat"
to the barista
A desicion made not because
your chai tea latte tastes better whith skim milk, but becauses of an involuntary calculator
practicing addition in your head

Next You Can't sit without shaking your leg
It may only burn a few calories,
but every movement detucts from the seemingly giant number
flashing brightly in your mind

Breakfast is no longer on the agenda for the day.
Lunch fades away
quickly followed by dinner

The only thing left in your diet is gummy bears and pretzels

Standing up has become a test in stability
gatorade becomes a major food group,
but has to much sugar

it's replaced with black coffee
That's just as hydrating,
right?

A world ones colorful has turned
black and white

Your in a hole that goes
deeper and deeper in the ground
with the passing of each day

The casket lowers.
You Scream,
but not loud enough
to be saved

Let me help you

It starts by leaving out the words "non-fat"
while ordering your chai tea latte.
