freefall

Once you commit

the dive to the bottom
is uninterrupted

see the face
pull out your wormy soul
paste it on your forehead

alternative route:

see the face
pull out your calculated mask
paste it on your forehead

either way

the dive to the bottom
is uninterrupted

forgetting again

a recipe for silly disasters

Plop hotdogs into pot
half cover with fresh water
place on stove
ignite gas element
wait—

oh, wait:
I have that email coming;
I’d better check
Be right back

Oh, they sent some pictures
It wont take a moment to download
Hello? Oh, Hi, Dwayne
Sure. I was just checking some email.
Busy, busy. How’ve you been?

What the hell?
Smoke detector
Crap!

Salivating

Oh, for a slice of the warm,
tangy crumbly, butter pale nutty,
pasture-grass summery,
clover sweet, creamy
take your palette and stir it into action,
beery, apple pie-ish, aromatic,
lip-licking, two-year-old,
wrapped in cheesecloth,
brought into daylight from the root cellar
next to a bottle of the best,
southern Ontario cheddar cheese!
