tacos for breakfast

how long does it take for a potato to boil, he asks.
i see four.
the water has reached its limit
and the bubbles look no longer happy
but he is set on making me
happy
with his eccentric dance moves
(in my head)
i burp herbs -
oregano, rosemary, basil -
i burp pepper
i burp the sweet un-mango
as he takes a swift peek at the omnipresent.
