Eat Blueberries in Moderation

They gorged themselves on Nordic treats—

their want engendered fat receipts.

The hole, unfilled, remained beneath 

a belly ache and blackened teeth. 

He dyed his face with sour-sweet;

the TV taught was good to eat.

Sangria lipstick—party clown—

the price of seeking wide renown. 

Appeasing fear with nature’s cures.

Enduring health, her food assures. 

Displacements show a poisoned mind

and walls of blue, it hides behind.

A purple pill to dowse the flames—

a helping hand that also stains.
