try it, Alexa says

can blue cheese go bad,

i ask Alexa,

yelling out across the room.

isn't it bad already,

i say

sniffing the plastic tub

of blue crumbles

found in the Siberian

section of the lower

fridge.

i don't know, Siri answers,

maybe.

try it, but yell out if

you need me to dial 911.
