Trip Poem #4

 

It’s worth getting poetic

about contrast in your mouth

 

About cold cream mixed

with a fat lemon’s spit

 

About egg and sugar

and thin-sliced meat

 

About the chef and the cook

smuggling a piss

 

About the stake in the store

bought for the blatant pig

 

About fullness as a man

and hunger when I was a kid
