New April Monthly Verse for by Issam Zineh!

BLACK BREAKFAST

In certain restaurants, you can order black breakfast.
The waitress will bring coffee and a cigarette.

Our language in this world: pleonasms as
“I saw it with my own eyes.” Well, of course
you did. What else? In this way, a little excessive.

You don’t sleep in. You’re not hungry.
Not so much appetite, you try to explain, as
much as transgression between what is and is
