Brunch

being lactose
intolerant
and lazy
no milk
for my

morning cereal
eating it dry
from the
box

when younger
and still lazy
i read that
from puberty
until average
age of death
a man will
spend more
then several
months in
front of
a mirror
shaving

so i 
being lazy
agreed with
myself and
let a beard
grow knowing
i could spend
that extra time
more worthwhile

even sleeping

now older
waking from
a deep but not
Rumpelstiltskinish
sleep just another day

comb my growth
and have the same 
breakfast but while i
brush my teeth i see 
pieces of granola 
nesting in my
chin hairs

there they shall
stay to keep 
them for a 
snack 
before
lunch
