muesli aftermath

      pasty flaps of nothing much 
      smelling of hospital corridor
      feeling like damp scabs of skin
      pallid triticale flakes taste 
      like tastelessness
      mere base for fruity cousins

      glistening with soy milk
      they park on ceramic noiselessly
      as they settle in for dry adhesion

Bill likes his muesli of a morning, especially when augmented with banana, berries and yoghurt.
