Friday's Whims of the Time Traveler 1.0: October 21st, 2010
Breakfast Ninja
by Belinda Roddie
Brace yourself!
It's speeding toward you
At ninety miles per hour
Spinning three hundred sixty degrees.
Toast between your teeth.
You turn the corner
and you're immediately assaulted
by two flying waffles shaped like stars.
This would be a lot more tolerable
if you were armed with a fork.
There's the table.
Sit down. Now.
Katana slices butter for you.
Strawberry jam makes for a less gory meal.
You let the dust settle quite literally
on the kitchen floor
with morning's casualties bleeding on your plate.
"Don't forget," a disconnected voice
resounds as if from every wall.
"I'll be back in time
to make you lunch."
