Breakfast
Peg Gabrielsen
Crystallized cereal in a bowl
Before my brother Jon.
Crackling, absorbing white frothy cold,
Sagging miserably under pressure.
Spoon rises, contacts half risen lips,
Disappears in oozing crunches.
Bottom-bowl-nausea,
Happens every time,
Too bad Tony Tiger-
Banishment
To the Disposal!
