No rest for the yeasty

No rest for the yeasty:
mixed up,
beaten,
and left alone in the dark

They still expect you
to rise,
right on cue,
as if nothing ever happened

Did onion bring those tears to their eyes?
Or guilt?

one sunday

undaunted by the coming rain,
the townfolk threw a party —
whipped dairy toppings for the kids
and smoked fish for the hearty
men who raised the church
and gave their tithes to heaven —
all hearts puffed full like onion bagels,
fermented with leaven

In defense of food

Don’t call my bagel fat
you foul-mouthed freak

It’s soft ’cause it’s not stale
It’s fluffy ’cause yeast rises
It’s round ’cause it’s a ring

(Besides, it’s just big-onioned)
