Walking down the subway stairs
A piece of wrongly discarded gum
attached itself to my shoe's underside
It left an embarrassing, angular connect the dots trail
with every footstep to the subway car
And later that evening at the jazz club
I remove the last pristine chip from the bowl on the table
And place it
innocently
in my mouth
My first thought was
Why are these chips mildly peppermint flavored?
And why so chewy?
It was then
at that very moment
I realized that
Someone had put their chewed gum into the chip bowl
Despite the fact that one good chip remained within
I can still taste it today
I hate you, gum
Gum,
From now on you and I are enemies
This is war...
gum.
