DID I TELL YOU

About the dream of sauce pans?

the ones that have never made a meal

they hang above the stove

In the kitchen of a lesser god

shining monuments to what he one day might make

and there is no talk of starving

because this god is fed on words

that get cheaper as time billows

and life loses its urgency

Until finally the sauce pans are put to heat

after the table has been cleared.
