• It's scent was so appealing
    recognition was instant,
    I'd had it before,
    though i could not think of where.
    And after that apple,
    tasting of wet Styrofoam
    with a spritz of earth,
    not the Earth mind you,
    I was ready to ignore the fact that
    it was on stale white bread
    with cheese,
    and the bologna itself
    appeared to be a thin sponge
    moistened and dirt speckled
    from cleaning runs,
    and so bit into it
    and found it to be
    squishy,
    slimy,
    altogether unpleasant.
    and went back to eating
    dusty packaging.
