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.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
