As I wait for the next batch of food to arrive,
From the hands of another stranger..
I stare at a lonely crumb on the edge of the couch.
So gruesomely broken
Torn away from the whole it once was.
Just a remnant of a previous self.
Useless now. A mere distraction.
And just a reason for cleaning up.
No longer enticing, or cause for joy,
No longer a part to a bigger picture.
It makes me think of you, and the pieces of us.
And the way we lost all of that into splinters of self.
Just parts of a glorious past, stuck to a teetering edge.
Mere moments from being cast aside.
And while my heart bleeds at that train of thought – my head just adds:
‘Ain’t that the way the cookie crumbles’.
Cookie crumbles

So I really want to see more poems from you. Excellent. I wish I could write poems like that. I couldn’t either see meaning in a cookie crumb…I would just brush it away but you wrote a great poem about it…

Got a super mixed emotion reading this. I almost felt bad for the crumbs, but then fourth paragraph come and I was like ‘ah’ (with a nod) then last sentence… I smile. A bittersweet one.
