This poem is about crackers

By Jennifer Buda

Illustration by Ria

I eat Triscuits out of the box

One already in my left hand while I finish the one in my right

No cheese, hummus, or radishes delicately sliced

Or anything the pictures tell me guests love

I want my snack to ruin dinner

To be nourished, as sturdy wheat fills me

I want to lick salt from fingers

To be fed gratuitously, a little at a time

Like an animal at the park

That the men on the bench come to visit

Expecting nothing, but to share an afternoon.

Such a lovely goose,

who can make too much noise,

but only when they have given her TriscuitsI
