Drawer of Possibilities
In the drawer of possibilities
you find stasis, the lure of the unknown.
To what should this hinged orb
be subservient? Or that wrinkled blade?
An egg, the bald potato. The sacrificial
carrot? To everything its purpose.
Like that light in the crook of the
altered frame, attracting the winged
beings. You, of course, serve nothing.

To everything its purpose. yes..

I believe that tonight’s dinner will consist of two grilled pizzas — one will be a traditional pizza, with cheese and salami. The second will likely be topped with a roasted red pepper “pesto” with perhaps some bacon or prosciutto. If you were only here to share…
