drink my food

i'm trying to keep a good attitude
regarding having to drink my food.

i flipped all your photos sideways
so i could lie on my side
and gaze at your face.

i rolled-up instead of squeezing the toothpaste
in order to save a buck and prevent waste.

only i can prevent forest fires, smokey told me-
but he forgot to mention who would end them.

i am currently on fire (with desire) for something
it seems i will never obtain or achieve-

for this i pour another drink
and commence to grieve,

all the while i force a smile, of course,
and try to keep a good attitude
about having to drink my food.
