poor form –or– the embarrassed eater
oh
crap.
rushing
to spread
schmear on
my onion bagel,
__i inadvertently
_ _ _and tragically
__went right over
the hole again.
if that glop
drips into
my palm,
i may
die.

O
is for onion
the bagel i like most
N is for not ever equating it
to toast – that would be insanity,
which is what the I is for, and if you try to
say it’s not, i’ll just come bust down your door
and i’ll wear a mask, and i’ll carry an axe
and a can of gas and a bunch of matches
and you’ll be all like, oh god, no! which in
case you didn’t get it is what the second O
is for, but i won’t even hear your pleas,
cause i’ll be busy creaming cheese
once you get a taste of these,
you’ll Never make that
error again

the darkness
the darkness sets in
not again
i pray
but i know it’s too late
my face furious hot heat beyond control i spring up i sprint forth
pulse pounding lungs ___screaming not enough air not __enough time i
slide stockings across linoleum
mouth agape from panting __no from horror for now i see it
black smoke spiraling ceilingward onion bagel burning below
i curse the 120-volt funeral pyre before me
both for not popping when it should have ___and for not being powerful enough to take ___my _wretched ____life as well

“i think you love that onion bagel more than you love me”
but
baby
my darling
love of my life
the girl of my dreams
precious little flower
adorable beloved
future mother of my children
the sweetest truest gift there could be
…what did you think was going to happen?
