A Creative Fast



Cleaning keyboard keys discretely suggests 
that writing needs less contamination; and if 
an inchoate attention to what ‘fingers’ might 
bring to the party betrays crumbs dusting th’ 
desk like dervishes whirling in a supplicatory 
expression of their wild beliefs, then it’s time 
to ban feasting - and thus one must impress 
the discipline of cleansing and creative fast 

Reckon it’d last about a week at best - altho 
the idea’s great, there’s an epicurean history 
to contend with appealing weakest ‘choices’ 
of such drastic measures, deflating pleasure 
it offers free, &, in a culinary sagacity, it isn’t 
as if all of this writing isn’t actually that feast
