My girlfriend called up
as she ran off to work,

"Look on the counter by the
coffee-maker before you go."

A Bismark had been torn
in half, well, not quite half,
     the red gel filling

squeezed onto the wax paper
wrapper, with

a little thumb print,
just visible in the

white frosting on
     the top

is half a Bismark a sign of
     love
or is the red smear, bleeding
from the Bismark's heart
     the sign

or, is it just a leftover Bismark
it was delicious, but not filling.
