breakfast talk

Too many choices may not be a good thing...

breakfast talk


it's a good morning
i say let's walk to
the market for breakfast
i want that yong tau foo

     walk, seriously?
     let's take the bus
     it's too hot today
     we still have choices

have you seen the news
today? Kabul fell
that's far away for you
some place called Afganistan

     wait, there's an eatery
     with the same name nearby
     crispy prata, sweet tea
     but i don't fancy curry now

the people there maybe
don't even have a choice
for breakfast or transport
and you talking about the weather

     yo just throw on some
     shorts & tees and slippers
     come on i take that long walk
     i won't be mad, promise

Magaly at Poets and Storytellers United would like us to write poetry or prose that includes dialogue. Food is one of the things that gets us talking.

Take some time and think about food waste.
