What I Would do if I Wrote a Poem Like Jacques Prevert

My sister is teaching English in a high school in France next year named after a certain surrealist poet. All of his poems have a pretty similar feel, so I thought I'd give writing one a go:

Cookies

Butter in the bowl
The bowl in the microwave
Sugar in the butter
Dry ingredients in the wet
Dough in the oven

I will eat the cookies
Fire eats air
Worms eat corpses
Stomach acid eats cookies
Eating
Eating
Eating

I ate the cookies
And wept

-Laura
