Looking up and letting go
Translating the messages
Within the ceiling stains
Buttons and knobs and switches
Touches and swipes and clicks
Opposable puns
War at the breakfast table
Conquering with toast points
Explosions of cheese and eggs
An artists lunch flying chicken schwarma
On a baklava canvas of fila dough
Your paint brush dipped in honey
Sweating over our stew
We fail at dinner
No amount of free napkins
Will clean up this spill
Clear eyed and up to the challenge
We cast our votes for television
Screaming for more sensitivity
Crying for more strength
Meeting needs with needs
There is no end to this dead end
We’ll break from breaking bread
Sift through the apple sauce
And see what comes up tomorrow
Schwervon!
