Sharp Serrated Teeth Bite at the Sticky Plastic

Ripping and Pulling, Pulling and Ripping

the Teeth Never Work, 

No Matter How Sharp

the Plastic Sticks To Itself

Folding Into a Billion Folds

No Longer Shining like Gold

Never Covering what I Want It To

Bread Becomes Moldy and Stale

Soup Becomes Thick and Oily

like a Swamp

Brownies Turn Into Rock 

and When I Try to Bite Into One, 

I Wish I Had Sharp Serrated Teeth

even though they never work.
