just in time

glasses on

i read

i heed

the warning.

could have been

such

a disaster.

who would

have

ever imagined

that i

should not

toast

the warning paper

that comes

stuffed into

in the

new toaster

warning me

not to toast

the

warning paper?

—

lord, what fools these mortals be!
