the salad dressing packet

i nearly chip a tooth
trying to rip open a salad
dressing packet.
i stab the thing with a plastic fork,
a plastic knife
i get out a pack of matches
and try to burn
it open.
no dice.
i stomp on it, i drop a
brick on it.
still it won't open.
i give up and fling it
across the street
where a truck runs
it over, still unopened.
finally i see
a black bird pick
it up in it's beak
and fly away.
good luck with that,
i yell out. bon appetite.
