Anger resides in the liver, I’m told.
Spewing bile, a walking reservoir
of venom, jealousy, enmity.
Eat, they say, to fix it. Garlic,
grapefruit, beets, lemons, greens…
Maybe it helps, but other eating helps –
abstinence. With a side of Twelve Steps.
Get rid of the anger through Four and Five,
Eight and Nine with a side of Ten.
Anger will vanish and you can skip
that garlic.
