the pineapple chip

a pineapple chip

dry and flat

so yummy and sweet

she wondered where she came from

how she got here

in this plastic bag

on a cold counter

inhaling the fumes of herself

day after day she wondered

wondered wondered wondered

then she realized

her whole life was wondering how she got here

instead of enjoying being here.

she found pleasure in the comfort of the counter

and the beautiful view to the outside

staring at the white, rugged ceiling

that was so lovely and bright.

the ceiling made her feel safe.

she wasn't alone!!!!

there was another chip with her.

what a blessing to realize

the two were so in love

laughing laughing laughing

playing games

creating stories

making jokes of the people who walked by.

of course.

her best friend gets eaten.

"well, i knew that was coming eventually" she said

her best friend gave her the most wondorous gift,

the realization of her amazing potential.

her creative little mind,

her silly ideas,

and her trust in life.

she thought back to when she wondered where she came from,

"what a silly thing to waste my life on!" she said

"that makes no difference." she thought

as she reminisced, and deeply appreciated her existence.

in that moment, peacefully, she looked around that space for the last time,

feeling nothing but joy and excitement.

because the question could not be answered

only experienced.
