Peanut butter and jelly

It’s all warm inside

And moist

The sticky touch

Of jelly

On the butter knife

After scraping it

Over slices of bread

I get hungry

For its sweetness

But can’t take the labor

Of screwing on the lid

Always leaving it open

When I’m done

And let the knife drip

Dessert always being

The better part of a meal

But for me,

The whole thing

Is dessert

From top to bottom

From inside and out

From this side or that

The bun and the bacon

The hotdog and roll

The peanut butter

And jelly.
