Granola bar

I would never choose
To eat a granola bar
Or peanut butter crackers
Though I eat them
All of the time
Out of necessity
Carbs and calories
I can’t even enjoy
Swallow and choke
Ruined in my mind
By the association

(2014)

How do you measure pain?

How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
