Self-portrait at breakfast
Eccentric white hands, wavin' and flippin'
My sight, parts a million, dartin' and tracin'
The buttery toast, the bacon and eggs,
The crumbs on the table, the grease on her lips
Her lips, her lips, her Asian lips
which creased and scowled as her nose itched and twitched
She had eyes, just a pair with glasses to match
Hair wild with fragrance, black to the lash
Her fingers that smacked me
Her eyebrows that scorned me
Dizzy I was, as she cursed me to death
Her presence in town exuded charm so unreal
Her slim, young body devouring that meal
That buttery toast, yes, do leave some for me
Your bacon and eggs, the sugary tea
But the crumbs on the table mean nothing to me
As I dive closer, aiming yet trembling with glee
Your eyes meeting mine, your scowl moist, such delight!
I'm there on your lips, yet you purse them so tight
And just as I savour this delectable pie
Smack, down with the fly...
How could you leave me to die!
