I’ve kept myself in stasis
by preserving with sodium
if it works for meat
it’s perfect for me
1 large jar of whole pickles
gobble them all
salt and pepper to taste
drink brine ‘til full
2 bags of salt and vinegar chips per lb.
consume in one sitting
lick fingers greedily
repeat weekly
3 bowls of green olives
the salty ones
eat ‘til you can sleep
dry dreams in the wake
I need to cut back
