Anxiety regulation and resource allocation.

​

​

Appetite is persistent. 

​

Reminding us of a need. A call to serve. A demand for fulfillment. 

​

Appetite is common to bodies in motion. Source and flow. A mode of transport. 

​

There are other hungers. They too present as appetite, though they seek not substance.

​

These hungers are blind, without sense of taste or smell, knowing only the absence of satisfaction. 

​

We feed them from opaque containers, hoping that their food is inside.

​

We fulfill the call to serve, but the service never satiates. A dish without nutrition. 

​

Appetite continues unabated. Empty containers are served.

​

Anxiety regulation becomes the body's mind. 

​

Resource allocation becomes the mind's body.

​

Starvation ensues.
