Description

do you like bacon
or sausage curled like a cat
maybe both too
wrapped in warm blanket tortillas
why so plain though
just flour and sighs on the griddle
yogurt looks sad
does it hurt to spoon it up

i love bacon
it crackles like tiny applause
thank you for ears
they catch my silly crumbs
movies save us
from thinking too hard before noon
drop-in surprise
leave the dishes for later

push and pull soft
like toast popping up shyly
uh… you nudged us
and the butter melted quick
kitchen giggles
tiny sun through gingham sky
breakfast ends sweet
crumbs stay for the birds
