6-6-2025 Took A Break

I slept at the foot of the mountain, 
There’s cheese in the trap waiting, 
Bait out the prey, 
Counting out every second it’s taking. 
Haven’t ate in several days, 
In a week.
Listen for the snap, 
Now there’s dinner in the trap waiting. 
I forgot my second language, 
Guess I have nothing worth saying.
Thank god for this dinner, 
Practice patience by leaving my plate untouched, 
I haven’t finished or even begun praying. 

Blue meats, 
I need my flames for American Spirits and Marlboro’s I’ve been partaking in.
