poems about onion bagels

Posts Tagged ‘generosity’

with onion layers

crust and carbs and cream cheese

i fill you up

with fragrant flavors

pleasing tongue and taste buds

i fill you up

in many ways

and whenever you want it

and though i’m glad

to fill you up

i stay forever empty

Some people on drugs get their brains all messed up

Some people on welfare get coins in their cup

Some people on short ends feel only defeat

Some people on hard times collapse in the street

If you care to rescue them from disarray, well –

To start, you could offer them your onion bagel
