Bacon & Eggs
Bacon and eggs
My favorite breakfast
The maroon, meaty pieces mixed with the creamy yellow eggs
The bench is hard beneath my ass
The air is bland and HVAC'd in
Just off my shift, 6 pm to 6 am
After the explosions
After the gunshots and tracer fire
I sit and eat my breakfast
After another night of fear
Another sunrise of thankfulness
I eat my breakfast
I know tonight I will go back
To the night shift
I know I may not go back to my cot
But for now
I enjoy my bacon and eggs
