Pushed away: Fat
“Rich things make me uneasy. I keep it all lean: the meals, the plans, the asking.”
It runs on the minimum by preference, treating richness of any kind as excess rather than ordinary supply, and prunes its own life before anyone else gets the chance. What set it going was a household that communicated clearly, and without ever saying so, that better was not on this person's menu. What it asks for is one deliberately abundant thing, kept and used rather than admired and declined.
It echoes Siddhartha in his starving years, when he had reduced himself almost to nothing in the belief that deprivation was the road, until a bowl of milk-rice ended the experiment. The form implies a task: to find the point where the discipline stopped being a discipline.
