orange juice

cereal

milk of human kindness? 

            mothers?

             what soothes us more in these times

            what smoothes  troubles,

            warm milk before bed,

             land of milk and honey

            would we need more to ease              

            our loss?

bread for breaking,

             our daily,

             slang of money,

             for which we want to be winners,

            but who are we if not sharing,

             we well-bred, with bread-and-water,

             shouldnt we break the bread of life

            with other lives?

eggs and on  whose theory rely

            chicken first or last?

             a beginning to all, ovum,

             but not all in one basket,

             lest on our faces,

            we who fertilize then crack the shell,

            our Humpty-Dumpty world.

meat the chicken last again,

            steer, hog,

            our choices of the flesh,

            consumed with conflict,

            whats left after death,

            fellow beings,

            will we meet with them

            in the next life?

            and how will they prepare us?

            we are all meat, in the end

vegetables

cheese
