interflavor marriage
few think that we’ll last
from two sides of tracks
so they point and laugh
just ’cause we contrast
onion and plain snacks – each its better half

old racist bagel
damn those dark and dirty wheats
they’re rotten to the core,
and damn those queer blueberry fruits
what’d they move here for?
damn likewise all the cinnamons
they’re lazy and they’re cheap,
those spineless eggs could damn themselves
if they weren’t such yellow sheep,
and damn those onions most of all
with their pungent ethnic smell,
there’s no place left for plains these days
— this bakery’s gone to hell

I’ve seen them staring
sideways and shifty
eyelids aflutter, thinking

for the flare of their nostrils
betrays them
What is that smell?
they wonder and
their wandering eyes
inevitably fall
to me
