An Ode to Breakfast

Salt

Yolk

White

We are the sun
boiled to perfect radiation
left alone in cold air
cradled by salty snow.

stomachs too full
to complete the five dollar
special.

Pepper

Ketchup

Bacon

you complete this tasty
compliment
to the ultimate breakfast;
forgotten

next to still-steaming coffee
on a sunday morning

5 am.

  2. Nice imagery. I was in a diner watching, in amusement a 17 year-old too full to eat even a 5-dollar special.. I was there. Nice job.
