Behold
and Lo,
Main,
streets strip silt
from
foreign lips—refreshing
lost
convenience
Snuggling
gainst
the
wall, where a
deep
fried tomb
gathers
hot
by
approximation,
in
combinatory zest
appeal—enough
for
many,
if shared by
all
Too
soon did show
the
face of greed’s
remorseful
duty
Oil
fires firm to
scaled
temperament—coveting
clarity,
curving
appetite
So
many you say?
Lost long where to whom shall fodder find a friend…
And,
why is that so?
Precisely because of plethora put plainly…plausible
pleas persisting purposely under problematic plains of perplexity…
Surely
not so simply—when can one honestly recall facility without a frown,
As
to wipe clean the
sauciness
of a greasy flagellation—teeming rather ominously gathering
in
the sink below?
If
not then why, if not why then what, if not what then how, questions
linger
in strands so long, that the boiling can only appropriate a section of the man…
When
the coma sparks
only
pray you now, to know
nutrients
seep slow
When
the coma sparks
only
pray you now, to know
nutrients
seep slow
Nutrients
seep slow
only
pray you to know now
when
the coma sparks
Nutrients
seep slow
only
pray you to know, now
when
sparks, the coma
Sizzle…sizzle…sizzle…smell
of soy
sizzling,
fresh chicken amongst colorful wonderments of a natural field…yummm….Thanks,
for having me
over
for
dinner…
Well done!

Some fun play on words and sayings, you know the cat enjoys such displayings. Although you are asking too many questions where, what, why? You want to make my brain fry? haha
ReplyDeleteIs it okay to be craving Chinese food after reading this? Or maybe I should be slipping into a coma on some city street?
ReplyDeleteAwesome, as usual, Fred!! You've a one-of-a-kind mind.
xo
quite entertaining and I enjoyed the dynamic reading as well. "Precisely because of plethora put plainly…plausible pleas persisting purposely under problematic plains of perplexity…" How fun was that to say! I feel there are many layers to this...nonetheless, now, I want some Chinese food - yum.
ReplyDeleteCooking has been used as a metaphor since time immemorial, but not always so visceral as you have here, with its appeals to sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.
