No More Breakfast

I gave up breakfast Not because I needed To lose girth Nor any extra Avoirdupois Nor because the time wasted In feeding Could have been better Used To solve the problems of the Universe Not because the eggs Are high cholesterol And the chicken sausage Created from Hapless victims in their Sharp metal cages Who never knew a Better life I gave up breakfast Not because I hold any grudge Against sunny beaming faces Babbling cheery “g’morning” In the dark demented winter of An empire in decline Nor because The aroma of fresh cooked Pancakes Serves up wistful memories of Childhood innocence Raped by the scam of Maturity And insatiable adult Demands Not because the grapefruit Citric acid Contributes to gout That precipitates Kidney stones And leaves a grown man Crying in a simulacrum of Childbirth pain Not because Nor because No No No...... No more need for morning meals When your awakening kisses are Marmalade For my soul And your warm perfume Sprayed upon my lips Transcends any butter roll No more need for a morning beverage Nothing orange, tomato, nor lemon And your golden breasts are my Nourishment Made from flesh Made from Heaven I've got all of you in the morning It’s a feast of your skin and hair And the breath of your love In my open mouth And the taste of your love In my open mouth No croissant could ever compare. I gave up breakfast To make love With You
