Katherine Hyslop Nourish Us
Alveoli drift, or wiggle,
Nourish body systems. Signal.
“Cease sugar shock” cry out loud.
(Give muscles strength & clout).
We stand. Or stare.
Our glands exude;
Intent dissolve,
Meet bodies’ needs.
Ingest vitamins, minerals,
Gustatory delights!
(“I’ll just go pop”)- funerals;
Await digestive might.
Crunch or munch. Salivate.
Glance o’er rainbow fruits.
A stepping-dance, we wait,
And pay. Chatter, natter. Loot.
Cells in respiration,
Whilst vibrant voices sell.
Plan-out, we all afford
Social interaction. Food.
Our Body’s not a screen.
Will food swipe-right?
Our bodies move in unison;
At Source, the Pack is tight.
