Strings of wet shredded wheat cling
To the white porcelain bowl
Forgotten in the haste to taste
All the better more sugary bits
Waiting patiently
Gripping tenaciously
Drying constantly
Scraped expectantly
Chewed tastelessly
The best parts of you
Have already sweetened my soul
Sugared the milk
Making me fatter the goal
Leftover breakfast cereal
Flies in subdued disgrace
To land awkwardly in the stainless sink
Sinking to sleep with the fishes
Because nobody wants to do the dishes
To the white porcelain bowl
Forgotten in the haste to taste
All the better more sugary bits
Waiting patiently
Gripping tenaciously
Drying constantly
Scraped expectantly
Chewed tastelessly
The best parts of you
Have already sweetened my soul
Sugared the milk
Making me fatter the goal
Leftover breakfast cereal
Flies in subdued disgrace
To land awkwardly in the stainless sink
Sinking to sleep with the fishes
Because nobody wants to do the dishes
