Poem


Millennial Guest Chef (Venusberg)


believing in nothing other
than whatever is at your disposal

celery, lemon, shallots, sherry...

settling for nothing less
than optimum potential

a risotto!

anything short of that 
(water, not stock)

a trauma

stirring, a condition
(dinner is improvised)

coffee mugs of mountain water

unseasoned, unreduced
non-pre-heated, pure

arriving boneless over rocks, logs, moss

perfect for drinking, bathing
yet in its absences -- failure!

more sherry -- a cup for the pot

another for you, to soften
the compromise
