as I waited for my eggs and toast,
I opened the Tribune only to discover
that I was the same age as Cheerios.

was the seventieth birthday of Cheerios
whereas mine had occurred earlier in the year.

behind my stooped and threadbare back,
Why that dude's older than Cheerios
the way they used to say
Why that's as old as the hills,
only the hills are much older than Cheerios
or any American breakfast cereal,
and more noble and enduring are the hills,
