Oh — taste this:
The bread of life
is not a metaphor —

What really sustains us
is not metabolism,
and what we’re made of
really is the one thing,
the flavors of which
are joy, exhilaration, love

What sustains us in our being
is kindness, and seeing others true,
and gladness to be here,
to be the light of life.
