eggs and an orange worm for dinner





she made me eggs and an orange worm for dinner
i began to eat so quickly that i almost forgot to taste it
but about 3 seconds after i began stuffing my face
i realized i was eating eggs and an orange worm for dinner
then i suddenly stopped
and savored every bit of this plate
and was grateful for the food on my table and her bright smile
it took away my hunger
and it took away the extra 40 lbs the doctor said were just too much
at last! i have witnessed my very own last supper

a long time ago




a long time ago
i met a bearded minstrel
he sang songs
he drew pictures
on my forehead

a long time ago
i crept into his home
a singer of songs
wooden floors creaking
and bending


a long time ago
i heard his songs
and my heart sang songs
a long time ago
a long time ago

a long time ago
i also sang songs
and walked
on creaky
wooden floors

a long time ago
a long time ago
