lamentable toast of the town the frowning down and around the corner the brainstormer the theater of the absurd the unheard-of delights of a summer night with fireflies and a surprise announcement of marshmallows a bonfire conspiring to develop a tellable story a glorious reminder with exquisite details entailing each need each feedable hunger among the wasted moments the toasted donuts and the abuse of sugar warming up a trend with no end a sauce with no boss which is to say barbeque and i want to tell you i am ready to grieve leaving i uncovered this morning a dream last night and there were tears or near-tears when i woke up and i thought i will write this down but instead i felt the air checked the time fell back asleep there is something to be said for leaving a covering on the mindside dishes left to chill the day creeps in and drapes the crepes in a manycolored coat a remote chance of genuine flavor surviving arriving on time and delivering lines not meant to be remembered the timbers all shivered the delivered pizzas dressed with olives on the courthouse steps on half a laugh out of relief and the belief in the reappearance of invincibility gone for some time on a dime and a hard place a chase to the race to the finish and with you in it i will run i will be redone like a painting made of tomorrow and the frame will be gilt spilled richly onto a page stage left and right and the center will go up for the jumper and come down with the score
