#yogurt
Tongue daps vinegar, and your face winched, as if offended, as if death was a butterfly fetching nectar from you, but your soul has never resided any body other than yours. Yogurt is enough to make you scoff, sandwiches the same, you shudder at the sight of my teeth flensing fat off a rind and the cream of hardened tallow on steamed rice. Your lunch box comes with this world’s gravy, mine comes with I-am-lucky-that-I-am-here kind of deal. Mine comes with bricks my scrawny frame has to bear, mine comes with my mama’s expectations that I need to build a better road for my siblings and I to walk on. Mine is more edible than what papa keeps in his belly. You have a lunch box, I have lunch, now go eat.

Lunch Box
"montana-says-yoga-pants-illegal" Look up on Yahoo we got quite the stash, under the illegal grass, in our hidden home, bring 'em out when it's just the two of us, looking to get exercised o'course we have secret codes, (yogurt slackers) never call 'em by their real name in public, lest we get sent by drone to the new orange and black jail when we be feeling risky-frisky, under our coats we wear 'em semi-publicly, but to blend in, we only buy black, seeing as we live in new york seeity, where we reside, black be the only legal color for approved illegal street walking never when we travel domestically in case we get busted, don't want to face federal interstate charges of inciting others to riot sensationally! this land is not my land, maybe it is yours, but if you come alooking for us, we got a cabin in the deep words, where we practice dress code freedom, no ties, shirts untucked, navel (oranges) fully exposed, button down shirts always  unbuttoned, (my high school days revolutionary first strike) hoping to escape the idiots we place above us to "govern"

Illegal yogurt pants
Dear the boy who works at the grocery store: Want to know a secret? You are the reason I eat so much yogurt. You always tell me "Man, you must really love yogurt because you're always constantly coming in here to buy more." Well, the truth is I eat so much yogurt so that I have to buy more as an excuse to come in and see you.

hiddenergyogurt - a minimal senryu haiku
I was just chillin, watching tv When Sarah McLachlan looked right at me She was holding a puppy, abused by its owner, I couldn't understand why When I saw the poor pupper all whimpering and sad, I couldn't help but cry My tears landed in a *** of dirt I keep next to my sink Out from the *** a kush plant sprung, i knew it by the stink My boy Rondelle He smelled the smell And rolled up with some papers We rolled it up We took some puffs And breathed that sweet and sour vapour.

A Day In The Life
When I can't take the silence anymore I type my little message, send it to your cellular device "Goodnight, sleep well." When I really want to say "I love you, sweet dreams." And a few minutes later you say, "Oh yeah. Good dreams." And I want to kiss you, smile at you, eat frozen raspberry yogurt with you, and I can't so I guess I'll go to sleep.

Why is yogurt advertised to women?
