Surfeit of Hunger

im rather fond of clever turns of phrase

or rather what i imagine to be such things

a surfeit of hunger

an arrangement of concepts that came to me just now

im of a mind to better my health in two regards

fitness and diet

as to the latter

i am now craving a greasy meal

from a famous local diner

called Waffle House

Now in moderation such a thing

It can certainly aid in putting muscle on

But

The satisfaction of this craving

It’s a hunger in itself

A feeling of lack

I have been satisfied

There is one less thing that I wish to satisfy

What a pity!

isn’t it better to have a surfeit of hunger

at least sometimes

im sure im imagining myself to be more clever and original than i am

there must be someone who has either had this thought or this very turn of phrase

but why satisfy originality

and forget its craving?
