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.

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

voyage
rowing my trusty onion skin
across the bagel sea
serrated oars slice silently
through creamy swells
chop
chop
chop
though arms grow weary
i forge ahead
my love lies waiting
on yonder shore
and no crumby surf
no red hot coil of sun
no dark and bottomless whirl
amidst this vast unforgiving pool
shall keep me away
from her
