breakfast

you don't normally eat
breakfast,
the most important meal
of the day,
but this morning you look
in the mirror
and surprisingly
appear a little slim.
you pinch your hips
and say hey,
how about some bacon
and eggs,
maybe a flap jack or two,
a pan of hash browns,
but you have none
of that
in the fridge.
perhaps one of those stale
scones
at the coffee shop
on the way in might do.
or a bagel with a smear
of cream cheese,
your stomach grumbles with
hunger, and then
you remember
that you still have that
bag of gummy
bears in the glove
compartment. fruit flavored.
so it's good.
