fasting

I've been fasting
for over an hour
now.
i'm not sure how
much longer I can
hold out before I pull
over for a donut
somewhere.
but the doc says, I can't
have any food
in me before they take my blood.
but I think just one chocolate
glazed donut
and a cup
of coffee would do no
harm.
I feel faint, and weak.
I start to black out,
but I keep driving.
i'm sweating,
salivating as I pass I hop
and denny's,
7-11.
this may be the longest
I've ever gone without
a piece of bacon,
or a fried egg,
or cinnamon toast.
