now to now

now it’s a very un-regal sunrise.
we’ve soiled ourselves and woken many
with early a.m. anal anxiety
diarrhea-drained of fluids and filled with fears.
we’re skipping morning and midday meals
scared of what food might create.
nursed back into our regalia,
and coxed into the cafeteria
we take another bite in our life.
by early eve we’re spiffy, re-diapered,
dapper and dancing with friends.
as sun sets, we call to regale ourselves,
to taste the deliciousness of it now.
