Taco Bell Haiku

In celebration of National Poetry Month:

Burrito supreme
collapsing like a beached whale
as spork meets ground beef.

—-

Potatoes nosing
from clotted meat like corpses
sprung from profane ground.

—-

Atkins dieter
folds another tortilla
past lips veiled with tears.

—-

Mexican pizza
launched from the boy’s tray splatters.
“Technicolor yawn!”

—-

Resting cheese snakes molt,
dusting a nest of lettuce
with their jaundiced skin.
