To The Old Man Who Budged At Voodoo Donuts

I curse you.
Upon the consumption
 of your Captain Crunch donut
 your bowels will seize up.
From then on all you'll be able to pass
 will be small unsatisfying
 rabbit pellets.
Every car you drive will break down
 the orange check engine light
 will haunt you whichever wheel you are behind.
All of your socks will have holes
 all your shoes will stink
 all your shirts will have pit stains.
Your business will wither
 employees and co-workers will see you
 as the infant you are and desert you.
Your wife will discover you a budger
 you will never sense anything amiss
 but forever she will nurse a quiet contempt.
Your children will realize the ideal of fairness
 you attempted to instill
 was but vacant posturing.
And at the moment of your death
 like a thunderclap
 you will know yourself a coward.
