Cereal

Today I wrote something on different cereals and thought you might like to know some cereals I've had in my life so far. So here we go!

1. Lucky Charms

HOW GOOD ARE THE MARSHMALLOWS? The fun is picking out the colorful marshmallows right out of the box and leaving the dull sugared oats one to eat with milk. This cereal makes me happy. Before life decided to catch up and all. Lucky charms!

2. Trix

To be honest, I didn't like Trix all that much. The coloring was the trick. I like the grape and lime ones most. And the red ones I think. Not the banana ones though. It made my tongue color like rainbows it made milk in the bowl swirly! Sort of a tropical fruity selection if you ask me.

3. Cookie Crisp

These were pretty yum. They were like miniature cookies (as you can see in the all-too-obvious name anyway) that melted in your tongue with the milk! Just like cookies dunked in milk. But cereal fashion! It was a cute sort of cereal, this one.

4. Froot Loops

Froot Loops! They taste quite similar to Trix except it's more sugary. And loopy! Anyway it was just another one of those cereals that I ate just for the fun and spontaneity of it. Frooty tooty.

3. Cheerios

Quite frankly, Cheerios is just Froot Loops without the coloring for market advertising targeted at families with kids. This is the 'healthy' option but it tastes nothing like cereal! But the name has always stuck by me, Cheerios. Cheerios. Cheerios cheerios cheerios. Bummer.

3. Koko Krunch

Classic cereal we all grown to know and to some, love. I wasn't cuckoo about koko but it was nice. It made my milk chocalatey and I always brought it to school for snacks. Koko krunch.

But my favorite of all cereals, and the heart of all cereals will be

6. Honey Stars

And it's called Honey Stars! Honey. Stars. Those two words combined are like the entire universe. Like something cosmic and... amazing. Which it of course, is. One day I might just be able to write some poetic shit about this cereal I swear. It's my fascination with honeyed metaphors and the space and universe combined. Honest.

This is just a part of the cereal collection. I've had more encounters with many walks of cereals I'm sure. But I'll leave you at that. Which is your favorite cereal? And what milk do you eat your cereal with?

Bonfire Night

remember remember always remember seventh of june (perhaps more disastrous than guy fawkes) remember the way the sun barely glinted through stone-cold monuments, (fake injuries included) ask me now how

i feel; sad happy remorseful guilty lachrymose

yknow the only thing i haven’t answered was what i wanted from you so now i will. i wanted

so many things, (too many) like

for the weight of impenetrable closeness that could crush my ribs and for the only air i could breathe sultrily moist from lack of reality-abundance of honesty, to suffocate under the weight of density but realize the importance of what it meant, for time to last like it had no beginning or end, nearing and waning each century just to reborn from pristine white ashes

and i wanted i wanted what i wanted most was to always feel magical (and your fingers did that spools of wonder and delight), some messianic epiphany like like like hot soup burning my tongue because it was always like that

i wanted you here, there, everywhere

i wanted selfish things (maybe)

TRISTESSE, C'EST QUOI?

TREIZE SURPRISES, LA PEUR, LA COLÈRE, TOMBER AMOUREUX, OUBLIER, SOUVENIR

"pourquoi tu es toujours si triste"

"parce que c'est la seule chose qui a du sens"

Our Sort of Destiny
