Pacific
I spied a bagel on the beach
Shining in the sand,
Alas! It was beyond the reach
Of my eager hand;
I swam and struggled, soaking wet
Through the rising tide,
But never could quite get to it
No matter how I tried;
To the ocean’s depths I chased
That lusted onioned ring,
Plainly for the merest taste
I’d do anything;
My air-starved brain became less clear
And then threw in the towel,
I dreamt that bagel cupped my ear
And heard my stomach growl.

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

good morning
it is a circle
it is an O
it is the look of
O GOD O NO
O PLEASE O PLEASE
it is horror
it is terror
it is a scream
it is a silent scream
it is an onion flavored silent scream
it is unable to save you

too little, too late
i’m drowning in the ocean
not a life raft in sight
this little toaster waffle
won’t keep me upright
i’m fighting through the currents in search of a buoy that itty bitty muffin top doesn’t float things worth hooey
i’m flailing in the water someone toss me a ring! your tiny onion bagel couldn’t rescue anything
