low carb santa

Didn’t happen. 

Go many old school 

Old money old people. 

So you know how when you stop eating carbs

And cut way back to induction levels 

And you lose weight- and you feel good-

And your labs improve etc etc 

And your doctor says yeah well it’s bad for you. 

Yeah well it’s not sustainable. 

Yeah well you need carbs. 

And you go off on your own

Complete Maverick-

And realize everything you once believed 

About nutrition knew was wrong? 

And quite possibly backwards? 

And then you do the same kind of thinking

With religion, money, politics, fasting,

Sexuality, misogyny, education,

Pollution, crime, and all kinds of systems

We just take for granted...

It doesn’t take too long 

For the veneer to wear off. 

So much smoke and mirrors. 

Well- that’s where I’m at right now. 

This process of discovery 

Started a long time ago. 

So I’m not scared. 

I’m ok with Santa not being 

who I thought it was. 

My plan is to just work and 

Take walks and do food prep

And not worry about any of the things 

I can’t control. Serenity. 

All this “be the change”

And rage against the machine

Only slows us down. 

Just don’t eat the junk

And don’t worry if your doctor 

Wants you to eat twinkies. 

You know you don’t need twinkies. 

You know you don’t need a man. 

You know there’s too many chimneys 

To slide down exactly at midnight- 

Everywhere. With presents. 

So many things we don’t need. 

Back to walking.
