poem written with a typewriter and an ink drawing of a bulky small water bottle and a doughnut-like bakery bomb

BOMBOLONE

   Looking at this water bottle
   i bought yesterday
   the word BOMBOLONE comes to my mind
   i buy PET water bottles
   on rare occasions   somewhen   between
   in transit   /   exsiccation
   i don’t even know what
   BOMBOLONE means or which
   language it might belong to
   oh yeah, The Free Encyclopedia
   knows,
      “A bombolone is an Italian
      filled doughnut and is
      eaten as a snack food and
      dessert.”
i can imagine this
bakery doughy bomb
filled with sweet
vanilla crema and
look again at the
bulky bottle filled
with water. ∅∅∅∅
it’s OK—but still—
   disappointing,
      bombolone.
