Crunch
cracks
and breaks the
nuts
That bounce in
further splinter,
hard frozen wholes to
Slivers and bites minuscule.
Exchange
from big Full
to tiny small.
I keep losing them, one at a time. Oh not so many, just a few, you understand, but over the days and weeks and months, it could add up. I drop one, it bounces out of sight into…Never-never land? Yesterday, I leaned over the desk chasing the end of a computer power cord and there, on the painted hardwoods, between the edge of the Persian rug wannabe and the tall baseboards, there they were. Nuts. Some whole, some ground to bits. A mouse could live royally behind my desk.
