what remains


Breakfast:

a thin moat of milk. soggy, disintegrating oat donut. yellow peel, opened from the bottom and bruised. buttery crumbs (formerly nooks and crannies). sugary muck on the edge of a dull knife. pulpy dregs of oj.


Lunch:

mound of ice, large to small slick spheres, melting into pink of lemonade, touch of diet sob. brown stain inside coffee mug. leaves of lettuce, partial ring of raw onion, clearish balsamic dressing. alfredo mixed with red sauce, and tangled noodles. hunk of bread, olive and melted cheese hardened into rind. bean mix, flecks of enchilada fixings. orange film on bottom of bowl, tomato basil on spoon. rice wrapped in seaweed, half of a whole roll. shards and butt of a think cone, liquid dregs of cream.


Dinner:

small pile of romaine hearts, coated in rice vinegar and lemon juice. some pulp, a seed. seeds in the brown teriyaki, sugar cooled into something thicker than syrup. scrape marks on the plate. beyond scraps of dead bird too small to count as anything; the absence of something else.
