cheerios, kix, life:
wholesome triumvirate of
toddler nutrition.

blessed trinity:
each with its own benefits,
its own quirky charm.

behold cheerios:
granddaddy of the morning
breakfast ritual.

easy to pick up,
hard to avoid stepping on—
to dust they shall return.

kix: an enigma.
“is it sweet? is it savory?”
i wonder; she eats.

bulbous stalactite,
an edible cocklebur,
dangling from her butt.

and then there is life:
a grand name for such mundane
pillows of sweet wheat.

and yet, mixed with milk
and the tincture of time, a
metamorphosis!

once crunchy biscuits
melt into one another—
a great adhesive:

thick, crazy glue
that binds all things as one; not
unlike Life Itself.
