It’s a conversation killer
muesli for breakfast
muesli for breakfast
there is no room for words
between the oats, seeds, fruit,
nuts and chaff,
between the oats, seeds, fruit,
nuts and chaff,
so we glare at each other
like careworn cattle
masticating miserably.
like careworn cattle
masticating miserably.
How different the bacon sandwich
or the dripping fried egg bap,
those are happy breakfasts
impossible not to gossip
through the dribbling ketchup.

No, muesli spells melancholia
give it a wide berth.
give it a wide berth.
