Preparation = Salvation
By baking and boiling you cover your bases
Like double or triple knotting your shoelaces
You make sure your onion doughs stay in their places
And knock the hunger right out of eaters’ faces

a not unrealistic prediction based on the undeniable frailty of human life
bagel bones break easily
‘neath crusts that crack and tear freely
if i could the near future see
i’d know that was the fate for me
my skin will peel in warm sunshine and bleed like onions on the vine ’til wolves and wives and worms come dine on these brittle bagel bones of mine

jealous?
my bagel’s worth bragging
and boasting about
i smirk when i slice it
and toast it all out
your envy is obvious
don’t say you’re not
‘cuz onions cause far fewer
teardrops n’ snot

Acceptance
When half my bagel’s been eaten right through
I usually say it just can’t be true
When half my bagel is chewed up and gone I scream and throw objects out on the lawn
When half my bagel’s been shoved down my sac I would do anything to get it back
When half my bagel succumbs to my bite I weep onion tears the rest of the night
Yet deep down in my stomach’s heart I know When half of it’s gone, there’s still half to go

sense of uneasiness felt upon returning home after dark
front door pushes open
kitchen light lit
knife block turned slightly out of place
are those crumbs on the carpet? cream cheese on the rail? the faint waft of onion in the hall?
i want to throw back that bedspread and reveal a harmless pillow, but the pit in my stomach says i shouldn’t

Bagel Horror Movies
Tend to include
Serrated knives, Chase scenes through onion fields, And toasters rigged
Not to pop.

To break ‘im off a piece
Of Onizzle Bagazzizzle,
He probably isn’t talking About your Onion Bagel.
