APPROACHING MY 72 BIRTHDAY
I pour Cheerios
into a glass bowl,
adding one big handful
of frozen blueberries.
Every day I do this,
a latecomer to Cheerios.
Life-long commitment
to Grape Nuts and Raisin Bran,
gone. Reason? No.
Epiphany. Cheerios
being the American
breakfast cereal of the poor,
Cheerios three times a day.
I'm talking children.
I add blueberries
to ensure the anger.
