smeared fingering sweet blue stains
the pan flash hot
singed cloud of butter rising
to perfume my shirt and following me
the breakfast queen
wherever i might venture tonight
it is a quick feasting fluorescent colored
cheap quasi healthful attempt
at satiety
nourishment
nurturance
with peppered bites of brilliant fry pocked
white and yellow remains
berries frozen midseason
to keep winter’s desperation at bay
saturating vanilla scented warm unleavened cakes
well lubricated syrup savory and crumbling
around the violent tines of the fork
poorly chosen transportation for this
royal pauper mouth luxury
ready and gone in less than 12 minutes
