No Morning Surprise
November 10, 2015
When the sun rises, I get that smell
that has no surprises.
Breakfast,
I know all that’s there but all i can smell,
Corned Beef Hash in the air.
That intoxicating smell that,
distorts my mind and controls my actions.
As if a bell goes off in my mind
screaming at me that falling down the stairs can be the only reaction.
If it’ll make me get there faster.
When i take a bite,
it’s like I’ve been taken off ritalin.
The only thing that can be on my mind is this food,
this wonderful food that dilutes my surroundings.
It molds my mood.
