i opened my refrigerator today
cool sensations of life inspired me to dig deeper
the light of the universe filled a dark room
and the cabbage made me think
juice of a thousand wars pure and unsweetened
tomatoes hit every bad act ever performed
by any slice of meat
egg head lined eyes on the embryonic world
from every chicken never born
lest the rotting stench of life decay
tickle a nose with the sulfur mine of love
shake your mustard
or else
not even your best squeeze
will stop dripping wet first fallen
from lonesome cucumber
where is your cavity
lemon sour yellow dreams
no limes, no clouds, no perfect life
where are you hiding sweets
why is your sweet hiding
is your middle shelf always full
or does unspoiled milk still feed
your baby right times
waters of a thousand lies
keep yogurt smiles healthy
hold your mayonnaise tight
and don’t let your ketchup slip
or you will never catch up
you will never slip tight
sleepless nights might
frighten you to close the door
and never again open
and never open it again
never knowing if the light turns off
alone.
