The human body
an evolutionary animal
is a gastronomic cannibal
with a voracious appetite.
Moodily pondering
sitting
digesting feelings
of dull lassitude.
Alone
just the torso
slumped on a chair
with extra legs.
Nostalgic moments
nebulously linked
to the present
are remembered.
He resists needs
and biological imperatives
that would disrupt
his equanimity.
Making coffee
urinating
taking a nap
or exercising.
Memories
come and go
in and out of focus
momentarily relived.
Dissolving thoughts
revolve around
a distant past
safer than the future.
