uncapped carbonation
i'm a cola bottle
not jellied
sugared, set, nor stagnant
but fizzed -
in annealed glass
boiled until its crystals burn
when poured into a hydro flask
it always breaks the seal
soaking the crumbs in my canvas bag
left over from god knows what
i'm just dishing about
in soggy granulated lint
but if containing feels like choking
in a bottle safely holding
my whole so very safely
the screw top cap still poking
a breathable gap
in the plastic i lack
how do i let the oxygen in
let myself be held
with an open lid
without losing all of my fizz
