nine hours no food

the surgeon tells
me a week in advance, don't
eat anything for
nine hours
before the operation.
pffft, i respond.
how about 24 hours.
i'm a veritable Ghandi
these days.
i can do 48 hours of no
food standing
on my head.
it's okay,
the surgeon says.
don't be a nut about this,
nine hours will be fine.
