A Gross Generalization

Don’t order “onion bagel” in a French brasserie
Turns out they prefer petit pain
And speaking of pain, how come they don’t care
that their snootiness
really hurts my feelings?

Soon

Soon is slippery
It’s well-oiled dough
It may rise fast
Or take ages to grow

Soon is layered
Though tasty at first
The bigger your bite
The greater your thirst

Soon is deceptive
A hole baked in bread
The promise of fullness
That’s empty instead

Soon is crooked
Like my furrowed brow
Though I’ll see you soon,
I miss you right now
