that onion bagel is a real a-wipe
it crashed my car, gave me this scar
and spread falsehoods about me,
it killed my cat and smooshed my hat
and sold our script without me,
it stole my wife and wrecked my life
and on my coattails coasted,
but i don’t mind, it soon will find
revenge is a dish best served toasted

at the bagel shop – or – at the doctor’s office
wrapped in flimsy paper,
each crinkle-producing movement is amplified
you are examined, squeezed,
sometimes even cut
you wonder: do i look okay? do i smell like onion? do they ever turn the heat on in this place?
you don’t know what’s coming next and you grow colder with every second

AKA
They call me “Flour Yeaster”
cuz I am on the rise
They call me “Onion Slicer”
cuz I make women cry
They call me “Complicated”
cuz I’m split right in two
They call me “Blissful Breakfast”
cuz I’m your dream come true

very impressive
strongman at the circus
bending metal bars
lifting slabs of concrete
chewing week-old onion bagels
without even chipping a tooth

today
today the sun’s a bagel
it toasts as it descends
golden yellow
burning orange
fire coil red and then
i look away
i close my eyes
and yet i see it still
but what was once the breaded ring
has now become the hole
and in my mind
the sky is full
of onion flavored dough
i’ll savor every moment, for this vision soon must go
