Burnt Toast

08.02.2017


There’s a piece

Of burnt toast

In the toaster

Growing stale


It’s been there since eight


The alarm went off

And the toaster dinged

But you already left

That toast

Will wait for you


And when you come back

You can throw it away

And put some new toast

In there


Maybe this time

For this piece of toast

You will stay
