to our single bedroom
(few dozen strides to access way
out apartment - complex edifice),

eyeing yours truly as seldom seen
human sacrificial cuisine,
which dime a dozen story true story

Choices of bliss blind to regret
Inhalation an act of betrayal
Exhalation succumbing a conscience

Brassy Barry’s boastful bumbling Brana Bull 
Badgered Billy’s bashful buffoonish Baboon 
Into baking a boisterous Blackberry Bisque 

Beyond bunking, Barry’s brave babysitter
