Trickle-Down Compassion

I’m glad 
you finally
want to change
your long-standing
dietary habits

the unexpected
doctor’s visit
brought fear
to your eyes

fear
that has trickled
all the way down
to your plate

the cholesterol,
the chest pains,
the fragility of life

Your life
felt important
to you,
but theirs 
never did
