HOT BUTTERED TOAST

By Steve Dixon

ree

I butter my toast— fully to all corners.

 

As I have done for the past 25 years…

 

… since I escaped

 

            Scattered Crumbs

                        A broken plate

                                    A mess of MY own making?

 

That first

stinging

slap

to the head

 

Bewildered;

 

Why?

 

Because I hadn’t buttered his toast—

                                                fully to all corners
