the serenity prayer on one side,
"one day at a time" on the other.
Given to those who decide
to "try our way of life for 24 hours."
A silly thing, rather meaningless...
they joke when they give it out,
say "if you feel the need to eat
something you know you should not,
put this under your tongue
and when it dissolves, eat what you wish."
Funny, though, how it seems to work,
how desperate folks who couldn't stop
compulsive eating walk away with this
and come back in a week,
testifying to miracles for seven days
one day — or one moment sometimes —
at a time.
