Betty loves buttered popcorn

i pour
too many popcorn seeds
into the popper,
and now
the kitchen
floor is
a foot deep in popcorn.
there's not
enough
salt and butter
to go around, but i do
what i can,
sprinkling
it about.
i bring
the tv into the room
and sit down,
then call my friend
Betty
who loves popcorn.
by midnight, it will be
gone.
