the powdered donut
bleeds its sweet filling
onto my white blouse

sheer anticipation
a ruined sweater
jelly filled

I take a bite
of the tempting donut
stale

warm yeast
through the glass
the donuts glisten

strangers in a donut shop
we talk novels
while my car gets fixed

early morning meeting
she bites into a donut
to hide her annoyance

box of glazed krispy kremes
my mouth waters
. . . Lent.

talking about my sins
hey I'm only here
for the free donuts

never eating
ever again

I realize the law
of marginal utility
too many donuts

my brother
a doughnut shape
on his girlfriend's finger

down on one knee
I laugh
ring pop sparkles

baggineses
stole the precious
WE HATES IT

a ring
in my drink—
how original

remember the night
we did donuts in the parking lot
. . . and then we parked

empty tea cup
on the rim
a perfect red kiss

floats on by
in a rubber donut
