Falling
Falling, falling, descending from the sky
Against a background of grey, we drift slowly by
We are all different, yet we have the same name
Some of us stay and some of us die
I just landed in someone’s eye
And become a tear that they cry
Chocolate
Rich and creamy
Dark and sweet
Non-prescription
Can’t be beat
White, dark, milk chocolate too
With nuts and chips and caramel goo
Drizzled on ice cream
Made into pie
Often it gives a sugar high
Found in pastries, cookies, and cakes
On pretzels and peanuts
In frosty milkshakes
Sometimes tastes yummy, sometimes sickeningly sweet
Chocolate cures almost anything
And the taste can’t be beat
Cold
Snotty, sneezing
All stuffed up
It’s only been two days
But I’m sick of this stuff
Constantly sneezing
And blowing my nose
A box of tissues has become my companion, you know
Sore throat and achy and watery eyes
I’ve been snorting prescription nasal spray
But I still wanna die
Sitting in study hall, tissues in piles
Like Taz in a whirlwind, I move down the hall
The force of my sneezing buckles the walls
As I wait for this building to crumble and fall
All I want is for this cold to go away, that’s all
Nation’s Addiction
Dark brown color
Liquid heat
Sometimes too strong, sometimes too weak
Drink in the morning, drink at night
Often could be labeled nation’s delight
Many different kinds
Many different flavors
Vanilla, hazelnut, and mocha
They can all be savored
Sometimes adding sugar, sometimes add cream
Aromas of flavor, amidst all the steam
Sometimes relaxing
Sometimes with a kick
Too sweet can make you sick
Consumed by the pot
Consumed by the cup
It seems like this nation will never get enough
Breakfast
Piping hot griddle
Cakes golden brown
Strips of fat sizzle
Aromas all around
Fluffy golden chickens
Scrambled and poached
Yolks ooze all over
Butter and toast
Sausage and ham
Liverwurst too
Hot, golden biscuits
Warm, fresh bread
Topped with preserves, butter, jelly, and jams
Sometimes made into a sandwich with eggs and ham
Hotcakes and french toast
And waffles with fruit and cream
Coming up light and fluffy
From a grill piping with steam
Fresh fruit
And canned fruit
Liquified too
Poured into glasses
Chilled on ice too
Cinnamon rolls
And sweet rolls
Danishes with cream cheese
All nice and gooey when taken from heat
Doughnuts and coffee cake
Adding pound for pound
With ice-cold milk
or
Soda pop
or
Coffee
To wash it all down
