Epworth Poems

“Yogurt”

“PLAIN YOGURT”

Is breakfast code

For cottage cheese

In a blender

And cranberry juice is

Okay on waffles

Especially when

You’re too self-conscious

To look for syrup

And just so you aren’t

worried

Every step you take

Sinks into the food-stained

Carpet and is

forgotten.

Author's Note: The Epworth Poems came from a band retreat we did to an island in South Georgia. A LOT of funny and life-changing stuff happened, and later I'll type the whole story and put it up. Maybe. This specific poem was about some yogurt I got at breakfast on the second day. I thought it was strawberry but it was "all-natural plain" and nasty. It caused some odd reflections.
