the last donut

she tells me,
you're very cynical, aren't you.
i can see that
in your writing.
poem after poem
about love gone bad,
how cruel
and lonely the world
is. etc.
baloney,
i tell her.
if someone writes murder
mysteries all
the time,
does that mean he's
a murderer?
good point, she says, good
point.
are you going to eat
that last donut?
nah, go ahead.
they don't 'make donuts
like they used to,
do they?
