Barely toasted.

Soft golden brown. 

Not too dark,

Not too light.

That's how he likes it. 

 

Bagels overloaded,

Mounds of Cream Cheese.

Never Jam.

Never Jelly.

That’s how he likes it.

 

Are bagels toast?

I mean, they’re bread…

Not tortillas.

Not cake.

I mean, he likes it.

 

OR DOES HE???

This is a poem about my brother, and how he likes his toast.
