What to think


I tried to open a can a few nights ago,
but without the right opener I couldn't do it.
I squeezed and prodded.
Hell I even talked to it.
Tried the opener with the broken handle, and
the electric one with the shitty magnet.
None of them worked.
Who knew a can could become a puzzle?
A labyrinth with no exit?
I read the labels, but still no answers to this test.

Eventually, I just stared and thought...
if only I had the right opener.
One with a good handle,
or an electric one with a working magnet.
Yeah, that would've made it easy.
Now I just sit here hungry
and think
about those with the power to solve riddles.
