The Long Wok….of a short peer




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…

  2. 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

  3. Is it okay to be craving Chinese food after reading this? Or maybe I should be slipping into a coma on some city street?

    Awesome, as usual, Fred!! You've a one-of-a-kind mind.

  4. 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.

  5. Cooking 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.
