was cereal in a deep bowl.
something
sweet
and frosted, floating
in whole milk,
none of this skim
or 2 per cent
stuff
that's floating around.
not almond
milk either.
no one was lactose
intolerant then,
no one was allergic to
anything.
that glorious bowl
of cereal.
the careful
process of peeling
a large banana and dropping
slice after
coin cut slice
into the bowl.
then with a dribbling
spoon you ate
with morning hunger,
spinning
the box around,
reading every side
as if
great literature.
