Breakfast
Just a day in his life
is like anyone else’s.
He starts with a cup of strong smelling tea and
an expression of “don’t talk to me” that
is like anyone else’s.
He always perks up after breakfast from
an expression of “don’t talk to me” that
everyone else has, and
he always perks up after breakfast
after his strawberry-swirled muffin
everyone else has and
everyone wants.
After his strawberry-swirled muffin,
he remembers
everyone wants
the mint-swirled muffins and
he remembers
the cafeteria lady whom everyone hates, who today forgot to give
the mint-swirled muffins and
the vanilla cake with coffee ice cream in the center.
The cafeteria lady, whom everyone hates, who today forgot to give
anyone
the vanilla cake with coffee ice cream in the center,
comes to work every day flustered.
Anyone,
dealing with him
comes to work every day flustered.
Everyone can imagine
dealing with him
would be horrible.
Everyone can imagine
a world without muffins
would be horrible.
He starts with a cup of strong smelling tea and
a world without muffins:
just a day in his life.
