it comes in a jar like peanut butter
creamed from broken pieces
too defective or malformed
to be set out in snack bowls
in the presence of those
with macadamia expectations.

like a friendship cake
it’s made from a starter -
a cup of bad genes, one yeast cake
of misfortune, a pinch of salt
from open wounds and just enough
sugar and pot liquor from
a witch’s brew to trigger explosive
fermentation.

after opening, carefully refrigerate
in a cold, dark place away
from the warmth of significance
and all light of hope.

serve on cold toast,
crumbled crackers or stale
communion hosts.
for variety, mix well with fluff,
fruity jams or the marmalade of
dissembling and pretense.

enjoy!

loved this verse...

and I don't think I wish to "buy" or even taste this product

Thanks, M. It's not a spread I'd recommend.

Strange isn't it, the things that pop into your head at 4am.

everything that pops into my head lately is "strange"...

I particularly was drawn in by the title. I visit with my 92 yr old aunt who loves nutter butters..and it made me think of her
