He said he missed me today


so


I left a lunch

box

note

and made him a sandwich

with

s      ad

 p  e

   r

because he likes

it

like that


after


held the knife out

in the thin

stream of 

the sink’s

mouth


far away


                  from my body

as 

the mayonnaise

d

  r

    i

       p

          p

             e

                d

like

cum

I cannot

stomach


mayonnaise


the smell

alone


simple ingredients

oil

eggs

an

acid

emulsified


blended


(together?)


will 

coat your teeth

so gently

you don’t even need

to 

bite
