Poem # 7

one time
on time
o time!

is time
’tis time
it is time

ideas that work in my language
are inexpressible in yours

Poem # 8

Cooking Bold and Fearless
the only recipe book my father owned
unopened for decades
full of archaic ideas of what a meal should be
a relic of a time when families gathered
worked, played, and grew together
a relic of hopes and dreams of another man’s youth

time long gone
but not forgotten
