this obsession is a pie
slice by slice i eat and die
chewing on for the rare time
i throw up, and again, my life becomes mine

from a distance it looks crazy
and from closer it looks worse
"why do you waste your time with eating?"
the answer is absurd, of course

"why not stop, just stop forever
never again waste another precious day
and instead do what makes you happy
and if not happy, what brings good pay?"

and again my lips are drying
with no answer in my throat
smile, the logic is in the silence
of the water in the boat
