Smiley Cookie Crunch

This one winks at me
we share a secret
one not so happy
but we share it

This one’s guilty grin
knows that secret
does not bother him
so he bears it

This grins eyes closed
would know nothing
unhappy or not apropos
happily dozing

This one smiles wide
knows the whole story
glowers with certain pride
in all its gory

details — As for me?
I will munch
the whole damned bunch
I will crunch
this all into sameness —

No, I am surely blameless
just cookie crumbs …
