Bagel
When sliced thick
Ripe banana – not too thin
Wedged in butter – the peanut type
Lathered in chocolate – spread so right
Gently oozing down a bagel slice
Baked, its top half fits so tight
From the lateral view, I take a bite
Smile of banana-teeth grin
Icky from nose to chin
Postprandial
The winding wind wishes
Kind kisses by singing
Songs of airy hisses
A fart is an art
For the missus
Find her fine dining
Or washing her dishes
Try not to sniff or she will
Break peace to pieces
Survival Spectrum (Darwin’s Duality)
Instinct
Life doth seem a constant struggle
Internally programmed to stay
Fight for selfish survival
Every single day
Death is an
Inescapable trap
Even probably for the most
Smartest creature on the planet
Extinct
