Lament of a Subway Sandwich
Sunshine yellow smothers
My sandwich.
The bright color burns
My throat as I
Swallow.
The obnoxious
Brightness gags me.
My eyes flinch
In pain.

A little becomes a lot
When the artist adds her
Interpretation
Of the piece.

I should know better
By now, but the lines
Can't lie.  So many
Customers, eager
For their piece
Of smothered lettuce
And lunchmeat.

Such lines should
Have a stricter air.
A dollop equals a dollop
A little never to reach
A lot.  I'd like to
Smother her
With the condiment.
See how she enjoys
The retchful nature
Of the color.
The fumes choking her
As I define "a little"
In small enough
Terms, so her
Mushy mustard mind
Can understand.
thrilling!  show me more!
boring!  let me go!
