Hiding behind the refrigerator
Reduced fat chips ahoy cookies
Into the past "best if used by" date milk
I wonder how I got here.
*
Days of eating macaroni and cheese
Made with bad butter
And drinking semi-ripe orange juice
Wears on the soul
*
I start searching
For a can of green beans
Only to find
A dented can of garbanzo beans
*
"Fine" I say to myself
denting the can of
garbanzo beans even more,
"I'll eat the withering peach
and stop my whining."
