Soggy Cereal
My gums still hurt from the last betrayal. I thought my Cap'n Crunch was at the perfect saturation. I went in too fast and hard. It hadn't had time to soak up the milk. This time I was ready. This time I prepared. I had the bowl ready. The milk ready. The Cap'n Crunch.. ready. Go! I went as fast as I could. But my little boy was up 2 minutes earlier than expected. He caused a delay. You think you have enough time.. but you never do. I dusted his knee and kissed his head. He is still learning to walk. I attend back to my cereal. You think you have enough time. I bite down. Soggy. I swallow the slime. I sit back in my chair... defeated. My boy runs now. He's off to college. My grandkids are loving and warm. My cereal is cold... You think you have enough time.
