Breakfast in bed.

‘This would be a beautiful death’ Said the waiter with the lisp. Limbs, digits and hair entwined. Double duvet decadence And awkward alliteration, Runny egg, silver cutlery and the whitest whitest bread.          *‘The whiter the bread the sooner you’re dead...            ...The whiter the bread the sooner you’re dead’* Regrets and thoughts of one cup meals, Followed by the unwanted filter coffee. The happiest hour before midday And a bed made for dessert That I’m happy to lay in.
