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
