Consequences

Consequences follow.
A decision not to frequent
a favorite restaurant,
not to go on a trip
with people who disturb you,
not to eat foods that fog your mind,
not to spend the day hidden in bed,
not to eat then disgorge,
not to gossip, to lie, to hide…
Consequences come with good choices
just as with poor ones, and you give up
sometimes on people you do like to visit,
on places you’d like to see,
on crutches you’d like to use.
Consequences follow
and one of the best
is sanity.
