Epiphone of an Emo Cook

Life is like sharp cheddar cheese.

No matter how much care you take

to produce discreet uniform slices

it will still crumble in your hands

the second you get a handle on it.

Also, I feel it's worth reminding the world about my greatest accomplishment ever.

Advice RE: the french fry of indeterminate age that you found while cleaning out your car

When you
whom I search inside
get up, it is good,
and the person who feels
you left it being nice
and I am glad of having
you, whom a researcher noticed
people being attracted
at the same time
that you disappear
and to be guilty,
says the psychologist,
liking optimism in spite
of a thing knowing
that it may not be so.

Finally.

Inherently people attracted
that team of neurologists,
found a warm place (me),
or a kite entreating
that I am those things--
arms themselves, or
that it is a foot.
