Charcoal marks undone
tarred mind undone
logic is dilated pupils, strong chins,
straight hair
a deep laugh and a polite smile.
Nameless and known
an example and not a
caricature
adjectives were double once,
but now
no longer in pairs
they are more descriptive,
indicative that the temperature
has finally reached 100.
Icy tension has given way
into vapor unseen and not
to be concerned with in
this sublime reality.
My neighbor is a dark
mysterious man and our
philosophical understanding
is that distinction is more
necessary in consumption;
would my guest prefer
more salt, more batter, more spice more
food?; than in conversation
and as such we decided
it's customary to serve according
to your guests in a way that
it's deceptive to speak according to your audience.
So I make capellini on
tuesday, my neighbor serves
ribs on wednesday, and
down the road
we sample pad thai on thursday
with a man who joins us
for beer and burgers on sunday
afternoon. Food and football
tearing down walls politicians never could.
