Sandwich (cheese)

[Jerrybaldy]

I am fairly sure this cheese sandwich will kill me.
It came to me in an epiphany
as I poured milk into my tea.
I don't think it's going to choke me.
I don't see myself rolling on the floor
With that gasping for air look in desperate eyes.
But trust me readers this sandwich has my number
My favourite colour and a dislike born in the venom
of an unrequited lover.

Have you ever started a poem
Then wondered how the f uck it may end?

I made the sandwich having scoffed 24 aspirin.
My dairy allergy ended my days.
I made the sandwich with the same knife
I had just used to open my veins.
The cheese pushed my cholesterol limit
Over the speed limit.

You chose to read this.
You decide.

In case you can't decide.

I was skydiving whilst peckish
and I didn't pack my own bag.

I was taking drugs and the sandwich turned into a shark.
Who ate me.
Whole.

I have to fess up.
The cheese sandwich did not kill me.

It was raining the kind of rain just sent to emulate
your mood.
I was eating a cheese sandwich,
I had just killed my brother
I needed an escape.
Forgive me.

It was on rye.

Ha! Ha ha!
