Tracking My Calories During the Breakup

by Simon Black

This is what I ate today:

Breakfast

An egg 50 calories

Coffee w/cream 30 calories

Crow, unplucked, uncooked, eaten raw as I admitted I was wrong and you were right 150 calories

Lunch

1 big sandwich 250 calories

My words, thrown back at me like missiles 100 calories

Humble pie, served with a side of sheepishness, I admit I was wrong about everything, okay? 150 calories

Snack

1 piece of chocolate 100 calories

My hat, extra large, because I never thought this day would come. I mean, things have been bad, yes, but I said they would never come to this 250 calories

Dinner

It up – maybe I thrive on drama (400)

Desert

Your dust – as you exited my stage. 400 calories

Exercise for the day

Running – over the same old material, repeating an old pattern of pushing you away and wishing you back 100 calories

Jumping – to conclusions about your role in all this 100 calories.

Dodging – my responsibility and my part 100 calories.

Chest Presses – on my heart, over and over without end.
