Bagels

So many bagels
Bagels piled up
One on top of another
Enough bagels
To feed an entire preschool
Two days in a row!

And all these people
These Rocky River people
The bagels wait for them
But they stay home
And eat their eggs
With Hollandaise sauce
Or whatever it is
Rocky River people eat

And these bagels?
One for me
One for you
Two star-crossed consumers,
Strangers in this empty place
Wondering if all these bagels
Will be tossed in the dumpster
At days end
