"What time is breakfast?"
he asked, all scrambled
eggs & bacon. "That's over easy"
she answered with an orange
juice smile, "when you've
prepared it!"

What time is breakfast?
queried the privileged man
who viewed himself a king
to his exhausted wife
whom he viewed dismissively
as the hired help
Coroners determined
he died with a full stomach
of eggs and arsenic

What time is breakfast?
Asked the kettle
From the toaster
For surely he will know
Why d’you need to know?
Asked the coffee maker
Basking in the warmth
Of the sun on the counter
Cause I like to whistle
Said the kettle
And I want to be ready
For my performance!

What time is breakfast?
Is not a question to ask
On a Sunday morning
It’ll be whenever the mind
Can manage to find a way back
To consciousness
After a night free of nightmares
Free of unwelcome thoughts
About work and its endless demands

What time is breakfast?
I missed it?
Slept through the time parameter?
Damn
Why must meals
be at the mercy
of the fickle clock?
Just like the rest of us
always dawdling
behind the times
tardy stragglers

What time is breakfast?
I'm having mine in bed
With you hopefully
Though you are a thousand miles away
your sultry syllables sway
over the text airwaves
in such a stimulating way
it makes me feel
all hot and sticky
I just pray you are real

Framed in the style of an etheree poem, a bit of micro fiction/vss inspired by a few Bluesky writing prompts. Black text on white background: “What time is breakfast?” a steely voice fritzed. Once more, I wished I’d read the fine print: “The unit’s ontological babble is not set in stone and may often repeat.” iFRIENDTM stamped its foot which scared iCATTM – same as it ever was #FromOneLine 409 | “What time is breakfast?” #2WordPrompt | stone, stamp #WeirdMicro | ontological babble #vss #microfiction

What time is breakfast?
is the go to query
for binge drinkers
seeking solid sustenance
Break out the eggs and beer
for a little alcohol absorption
as dawn breaks over the diner
for the blurry patrons
who survived the carnage
of the previous evening

"What time is breakfast?"
that's not the sun, just #lightning
...now?
no, the #awning caught fire
...now?
no! breakfast time is whenever I get up. Don't you #grasp that every time you wake me, breakfast will be delayed by the extra sleep I need?

What time is breakfast?
the moon asked
the night,
holding out
her bright shiny plate
the stars, tiny morsels
to snack on til dawn,
when the moon
eats her fill
of the clouds
and the hills
then sleeping in late
she tucks away
her plate,
until the night
rolls 'round again.

what time is breakfast?
I'm already hungry
for French toast
of course, strawberries
scrambled eggs
and bacon the most
you promised me
breakfast in bed
such a rare treat
I don't know if I can sleep!

What time is breakfast
that you never made
with the spring in my step
actually a limp
and the race being over
before we even
started

"What time is breakfast?",
You asked with a grin, tousled
Hair, glowing within.

What time is breakfast?
what a thing to say
on international women's day
you do know how to #agitate
#jolted nerves near #detonate
like a bolt of #lightning
proved it true
I'm not your mother
so #screw you

What time is breakfast?
Well, around 1463,
15th century meaning,
For, breaking the fast, for thee.
Prior to this, first meal of day,
Was morgenmete by name,
Morning meal, quite literally,
The oldé words do frame.

If you turn clockwise
Spellbound by the twilight
You’ll loose track of time

If you turn it clockwise
do it til it hurts
Pain is the cleansing agent
for us of the Animal Class
whom civilization has made numb
When you separate the beast
from it's core instinct
we became domesticated
and easier to control
but damn
it ain't US anymore

If you turn it clockwise
Lefty Lucy will object
and demand recompense
for motion indignity
of a tool confidence
busting calamity
as her future earnings
will surely regress
and take a turn
for the counter force worse
Hopefully
my love won't get screwed
in right wing court

If you turn it clockwise
and do a 360 revolution
you will return
from whence you began
though if you are in the groove
your proximity
vertical location
will be
a bit lower
in a slightly
tightened position
In other words
You are screwed

"If you turn it clockwise..."
The clouds vanished.
"Place it in the soil..."
A #bountiful harvest appeared.
"And if you break it?" the boy laughed, smashing the #talisman.
Earthquake. Fire in the skies. #Calamity.
The old wizard sighed.
"Damn kids."

If you turn it clockwise, 10 times
You'll discover a portal opening
And through that portal, you'll
Have 10 hours to correct mistakes
Mend broken fences while saying
The things you always wanted to
But had no courage to do so
It's a trip of unparalleled self-discovery
