Eggs and Bacon
Today when I woke up I could not
Get that thought out of my mind.
How you kept on pressing the point
Trying to win the argument.
Yet how can you win an argument when there is no fight?
What was done is done and now in the gloomy
Aftermath, all that remains is to wonder
What happens now? Do we go on as before..
Or do we create a new reality
Sort of like a lopsided Phoenix
Not a colorful plumed bird
Not a joyous survivor from the ashes
But a weary and faded version
that yet proclaims its strength
That teaches us the possible
In our survival
My soul longs for the normalcy
Of chicken noodle soup
Of eggs and bacon
Of ocean waves
Just regular stuff
Along with the lopsided Phoenix
Showing us the way
To end the argument that never happened.
