Popcorn Legacy
September 20, 2012
under pressure
in compartments of doom
anyone would pop. and
make a loud noise
muffled by the paper curtain
inside the plastic walls
buttery or burnt
is the difference between
love and death
or garbage and death
(and there are those who
hold on and don't pop.)
some break into pieces,
get lost in the caverns of the
couch, to be found by babies
of the next generation
who taste, feel, smell
what's left of them
and wonder how they
got there.
