Red Tin Box of Egg Rolls

Red tin box of egg rolls

earns more money probably

than worthless little me.

I haven’t tasted a sweet,

crunchy butter egg roll

or any other dessert food

for over ten years

and, as I wanted to keep

saving those crispy, crumbly

Chinese egg rolls for later,

I let the red tin box

of egg rolls sit in the cupboard

for so long that they pass

their expiration date:

decaying,

spoiling,

deteriorating.

I’m not sure if it’s nice

to own something tasty

and sweet without taking

a bite.
