"Ode to My Dorito Crumbs"

This was another exercise from the Central Utah Writing Project called a "Bring Me" poem.

How rebellious,
how impetuous,
you tweezer specks!
Uninhibited by destiny,
your spicy cheesedust-laden
bodies leave their mark
upon my fingers,
lava-intensive and salty,
cheddar and sticky;
You leap from my mouth—
jarred and broken,
Unwilling to die,
to feed
my insatiable appetite.
Oh, chip crumbs,
stay!
bring an end
to my hunger
so I don’t get my fingers
greasier
while scavenging
for more.

I think I'll post a little writing every so often...some polished...some rough. And I welcome any comments or criticisms or cupcakes you care to throw my way.
