				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh, to be a rational Epicurist! A sun spotless mind-cleaner (than)<br />
a Pope for one more franchise will burn my body by a Steak, &#8216;n<br />
Shake a SRI index fund&#8217;s pointy finger, at my 401-Kilo-calories<br />
it reads on the fast food prospectus&#8211;just &#8217;cause a prophet didn&#8217;t write it<br />
doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s untrue, Mo&#8217; and mo&#8217; years, the more I choose<br />
beside my Jesus burger, I need more media, more YouTube<br />
feeding tube is not enough!&#8211;need mail on phone, music on TV,<br />
hybrid corn, a fructose I.V., a fourth meal of midnight tacos<br />
drive-thru lines of closed eyes show ads on clothes and signs,<br />
other&#8217;s behinds walking right to left, left to right&#8211;usness: the risk<br />
worth taking this half field of nerves and flipping coins to kick<br />
or be kicked on the other cheek bones protected by dead bolts,<br />
car doors, live wires, meds, and noise canceling headphones ring<br />
interrupting disrupting sighs: our stones, diarrhea, and UTI&#8217;s.</p>
