simply wild

in the 80's you wore socks pulled up over your trousers
in the 90's you replaced your air with smoke
in the 2000's you drank wine in tumblers with plenty of ice


now you suspend
cherry-like
at the cusp
of the era called simply wild
when aches and pains are treated
like royalty
and damage is not a surprise
it's just another texture

not to sound grim
nor grimy
just saying
it's just texture
sometimes maple fudge
fresh, not yet set
sometimes yellow vitamin-rich egg
sometimes hard black toast
sometimes vintage brick

that's the menu
