Today's Recipe
(For Larry Ziman)

When you start with a pinch
of melancholy
then sprinkle in some green soy protein
mixed with organic carrots and
California black
  kale,
well, surely, you understand
the implications?
The result is the resurrection
of a splinter faith from the
Cartesian well
of absolute truth,
that’s a given.
But a small price to pay
I say
for your shadow draped across
a black walnut
  bar
smoking organic cigarettes
and ordering drinks
called “The Tyger,”
“the thorns of life,”
or “Blood Wedding.”
