hot soup

I often wonder
when staring into the white
abyss
of the freezer, how long
soup lasts
before going bad.
it's frozen solid.
she crab soup in a plastic
tub.
you still have the crackers
too
that you were going
to crumble into it
on a cold winters
day
when there was nothing
else to eat,
not even eggs
or peanut butter.
you spin the soup container
around
searching for an
expiration date,
but there is too much
ice encasing it.
maybe when the weather
changes, gets cold
again
you'll put it in the microwave
and give it a go.
