Toast on a bright day, and an egg flipped over
some bacon on the side for the rover
crispy fries and a shake to put together
this is not a poem about food or the weather.

toast between friends, the night is not over
olive stuck to the glass and a pinch of lemon
would that I had the key to the gates of heaven
this is not a poem about drink or redemption.

Working men bake loaves that customarily rise
copycats fake their way with their daily disguise;
candlestick makers pour molten wax into molds
not a poem about candlelit dough you should fold.

What then is in the sea of my mind
can you not just turn around and find;
that whoever you are, you are not walking alone
and all of these acts are at a throw of a stone.
