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.
