Empty Stomach, Curious Mind

Ramadan
starts today

i'm not Muslim
and i'm curious
about this partial
fast that hundreds
of millions of people
do a month a year

no eating
until after sundown

i'm on a modified version:
eating only
once a day

yesterday
and today,
around 2 in the afternoon

since
eating at night
is harder
on the liver
and whatnot

anyway
it's almost two today
no eating since
around 3 yesterday
afternoon

hungry

curious:
is this "hard"
and
if so
how
much of "being hard"
is my story

and how much
my incredible luxury
of being one of the humans
on earth
with food
around
almost all the time

of course,
anyone
with a garden
and orchard
and some nearby
blackberry patches
has
lots of food
around all the time
this time
of year

curious
interested

what will a month
of this be like

hmmm.
