A little background on this one, I wrote this after a rather depressing and disappointing night. A girl I liked, and who supposedly liked me as well, stood me up cold and kinda pulled a complete 180 on me, this is about her and that night...


Soup Of The Day

So what was the soup of the day for you?
Today my soup was too, too, too hot.
It burned my tongue and in agony I screamed….
Quietly I did scream though
So as not to disturb others' soup
When set before me, the soup was regular
Then it began to take form
Twisting and swirling shapes
Violent and rage-filled colors and motions
Steam, drenched in pain, rose from the soup
It engulfed my face and enflamed my eyes
I felt the soups poison taking control
I witnessed the hatred the soup possessed
I became that hatred
I signaled for the waiter to come to me
Then very politely and calmly
I said, "Sir would you be so good as to throw this soup away?"
Then I rose from my seat and left
No painful or agonizing soup got to me today
What about you?
