White bread may kill me,
it lays in a loaf, and in my gullet
like the plain hope of Ronald Reagan,
right and fiberless,
utopian and blind.
But it holds butter and jam
without getting in the way,
and proffers light brown ease.
It is where Jesus has been found.
He has not appeared in multi-grain,
soft white wonder that he is.
