wanted to make a metaphor
out of not making enough
popcorn
like I had too little oil in the pot
that you could call black
like I didn't heat it up enough
even when I saw the smoke
like I'm not sitting here
crunching on kernels
like it's more than I can chew
like I shoulda coulda woulda
listened, before they hatched
I mean popped, oil and water
like I am what I'm not eating
half fool bowl now empty
now lonely now hungry
now all wounds salted
shakers and mistakes
wanting, so much this
to mean something
to someone, else
to make metaphors
out of this
though all I really did
was
not make enough popcorn
not much you can do with that.
