Brace yourselves.

I’m going raw and uncensored today.

No soup, no cake, no cooking. It’s too hot in the kitchen to turn on the stove. You know how it is.

I’m playing with dry alphabet pasta! Shocking, oh my, yes. And so dangerous. Chalk it up to May Madness.

Note: Tapioca pearls make excellent periods.

ABC
by Robert Pinsky

Any body can die, evidently. Few
Go happily, irradiating joy,

Knowledge, love. Many
Need oblivion, painkillers,
Quickest respite.

Sweet time unafflicted,
Various world:

X = your zenith.
