i keep floss in my car,
but i don’t eat anything in there,
though somehow there’s always food crumbs
on my floorboard,
i suspect it’s a sparrow sneaking into my car
when i’m at work,
snacking away on a few kernels,
and of course the sparrow doesn’t
need to use my floss either
one of my goals is to mash up as many candy bars as possible,
until I can’t tell where the Butterfinger begins
and the Hersey bar ends,
and then I’m going to wrap it up,
re-brand it,
and sell it
as the Bar of Monsters
with the hope that someone tries it, likes it,
and makes their own copycat version of it with the wrong candies
