Another Wistful Poem About Heartbreak

Observation-locomotive-New-York-Central-RR

Nope! This poem hates poems

about heartbreak and its derivatives:

all the mewking and sniffling,

all the tears and self-pity.

This poem is about Cheetos,

those delectably toxic chips,

those crispy, orange cheese poofs

all irregular and twisted. Never,

said Heraclitus, can a Cheeto

be eaten twice, for each is unique

in length, shape, and weight,

not to mention the depth of cheese-dust

gently powdering its salty surface.

So while those other poems go on crying

and whimpering to godless skies,

this one makes a crunch

like a roach crushed by a heavy boot..
