He read there were microplastics in honey
and maybe in everything else.
Supposedly those microplastics could cause cancer.
He thought to himself what can’t cause cancer nowadays.
It’s supposedly in goddamn everything you breath in or eat,
and one day it’s not in some of those things
like how eggs are dangerous to eat one day
and healthy as hell to eat the next day,
like how chocolate is good for you heart one day
and contaminated with lead and cadmium the next day.
He gulped down two spoons of store bought honey
he had stirred into his instant coffee
savored two delicious pieces of Hershey chocolate
and thought screw it, we’re all going to die.

Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri?
79, cancer survivor, work out 3 times a week, ride my exercise bike 2 hours daily. Began writing poetry October 2023, living in Greensboro, North Carolina, originally from just outside of Boston, MA.
Retired and enjoying a solo, reclusive life always researching and gaining knowledge. Most of my poems are fictional.
I write about many things: Spirituality, Mysticism, the Paranormal, Cryptids, Werewolves, Ghosts, 411s, Nature, Birds, Animals, Romantic Love, Death, NDEs, Women Persecuted as Witches, Fictional Characters I Create, News Stories, AI, Robots, Insects, like the poem entitled, Hail Caesar Bob, (about when bees were swarming me outside the door to my apartment), and many other topics. I write a minimum of 3 poems daily, sometimes more.
