Bob Eager’s work has appeared in Stray Branch, Leaves of ink, Camel Saloon, Vision With Voices among others.

Melba Toast Kind Of Feelin'
Becomes appealing only if it is...
The last thing on the shelf;
Or at the table grab it no one is watching-
Hard substance throws like a dog biscuit;
Some say it is a
Secret laboratory created hybrid ;
Or Something Synthetic?
Enough to survive on but hard to crunch and your teeth may cringe.
Dangerous seemingly stale weapon ?
Fake toast or is it?
Not a craving but a mediocre ...
Get through the day bare minimum;
Hits me again .
A Last resort!
That Melba toast kind of feelin'.
