You Said Donuts Taste

you said donuts taste

you said donuts taste
like church, and i
swallow your words as
fact, and not merely the
flavor of a childhood full
of sundays packed
into the 1988 Ford
Aerostar, pulling out
of the crowded parking
lot, a donut in each
hand, a mouth so
redemptively sweet
.
