Nacho Cheese Doritos

By Meara Levezow

Dextrose temptress, isosceles sunrise
I hold up to gaze
at each dappled shard.
How you soothe me,
you darling tea with madeline!
Your dust stains my fingers
that primordial hue.
Perfect tooth crunch, if I let you
you’d replace every meal.
Natural and artificial flavors,
malodextrine jezebel,
for a morsel of you any woman
would gladly funnel your crumbs
from tilted bag directly to mouth!
Enough chatter!
I am ready for
the Family Size.

“BUSINESS is business,’ he said to me, As he gave me short weight in my pound of tea. ‘In business there isn’t much sentiment,’ Said he, as he charged me the extra cent. ‘Once I trusted a friend and he didn’t pay,’ The bread that he sold wasn’t made that day. ‘Business is business,’ he said to me, Of a dozen eggs we could use but three. O, it seems to me some way, somehow, There’s too much business in business now.
