In the dying days of the rich west
the wealthy have all the time
anyone could want; whatever
their technology does not do
their maids servants can do instead,
leaving them to plan infinity.
Urgency is conspicuously absent.
When the poorer folk live in similar ways
nobody should be surprised to see
how serial snacking leads to obesity.
Inattentively snacking on over-processed 'foods'
fits well around having a partial attention span,
where what we do and what we eat
merge into one slow but continuous
splurge of partial in/attentiveness
where we half get things done,
eat too much, and leave ourselves
more for to be finished off later.
