contemplating ramadan

fasting all day - could i ?
eat nothing -
from breakfast to lunch?
maybe.
drink nothing -
from breakfast to lunch?
doubtful.
(here i take a sip of coffee)
eat nothing -
from lunch to dinner?
gasp! (reaching for a cookie)
drink nothing -
from lunch to dinner?
impossible!
and besides -
these northern August days are long!
in Alaska do they get to eat at all?
