Twilight Foods

Refrigerator changes.

Civilization stopped one day
the fridge food changed
mayo morphed to vaseline
ketchup became blood
onions opined hardball talk
carrots called as celery stalk
lettuce browned like August grass
an apple degenerate matter;
peaches paused as sloth-like fuzz
the OJ splashed as sea foam froth
and milk solidified to sand
a dark green pepper glowed as sun.
Canadian maple ham as caulk
filled egg bays like warm pudding cups
and mustard fired sortie shots
like drones unleashed above Iraq
while Diet Coke swelled to a blob
the Coney dogs turned to corn cob.
I had to leave my fridge alone
this Kenmore chilling Twilight Zone.
