Our Daily Bread by Ed Ahern

There is a blessed monotony to breakfast,
eating the same foods at the same time,
more stable than anything else in our day,
the capstone satisfaction to our ablutions,
the reassuring and predictable tastes
reinforcing order in the universe before                                                       
launching into the day’s changing menus.
