Notes of a Kitchen Novice
An Ascetic Breakfast
Bitter coffee
with banana medallions
on shredded wheat
Upside-down Soda
The bright cherry
of a traffic light
under frothy
pink clouds
piled high
between the straws
of two tall buildings
Allegorical Fruit
The melon of melancholy
Profound pears
The lemons of enlightenment
The grapes of wrath
Weeds Win!
At the Farmer's Market
you can get micro greens
and nasturtiums all day,
but the dandelions
are always gone by noon.
The Contagious Road
spreads confusion
far and wide.
We go on
putting one mistake
in front of another.
But then discover
a beautiful
 a) garden
b) grove
c) glade
d) you name it
A place only the truly lost can find.
