Eat
talking of death
is like talking of
money-
we neither know the
price or the
worth,
yet looking down at my hands
I can guess
a little.
man's made for guessing and for
failure
and woman
for the rest.
when the time comes
I hope I can remember
eating a pear.
we are sick now
with so many dead
dogs
skulls
armies
flowers
continents.
there is a fight-
this is it:
against the mechanics
of the thing.
eat a good pear today
so tomorrow
you can
remember
it.

1) We'd totally hang out if we were geographically situated for it. Seriously, common themes all over the place!
2) I haven't had egg-salad for 2 years b/c of some nasty repercussions and my man can't eat Tombstone pizza without puking.
