Acceptance

When half my bagel's been eaten right through

I usually say it just can't be true

When half my bagel is chewed up and gone

I scream and throw objects out on the lawn

When half my bagel's been shoved down my sac

I would do anything to get it back

When half my bagel succumbs to my bite

I weep onion tears the rest of the night

Yet deep down in my stomach's heart I know

When half of it's gone, there's still half to go
