No high
no low
only loss of appetite
is how it goes
you can run on the stuff
like Speed man
but no buzz
no crash
sooner or later
you gotta eat
something /anything
to the staccato rhythm
of blood sugar
highs and lows

Just a poke
in the stomach
once a week
is all it takes
to make some food bland
others gassy indigestion
Tums and heating pad
consultation
but no high
no low
just that
no man’s land
in-between

As one can only ponder
for the rest of his days
at this strange way
to live
and die
