White Bread

                                                                        Stanley Kubrick for Look Magazine, 1949



White Bread

A stale moment frozen in time,
Like outdated pie,
or feet too scared to dance.

Those monochrome days choked in the smoke,
Like unwritten lines,
Creating boundaries so oppressive to the soul.

Boring.

Like white bread.


                                   - T. M. Crone

  1. Nothing boring about your poetry ~~ like healthy whole wheat bread with lots of seeds ~~ (ful)filling.

    Thanks for visiting me in the rathskeller ...

  3. Funny what we see as "white bread", kids then thought they were probably being so wild and daring!

  4. As someone who recently switched from white bread to whole wheat, I could appreciate this. Oh, if that picture could talk.
