We’re baking bread. You want music. So
middle Rachmaninoff is blessing the
phonograph: I am again alone. Snug
the mixer whirs the yolky white: we’re
tithing god-king ennui. Woke ankle numb
without a free hand, shoulder un-socketed.
August now: fathers die here. Gallivant
turns procession turns pragmatosis: the
bypass coming around 40; epitaph
“his zest wasn’t in his cooking, but it
sure was in his life” will do.
Your corpse is smiling.
