Poetry:
100% pure beef
or vice-versa
raw:
she used to eat paper with expression
but
she was too young to get
the punchline
rare:
a little brown on the edges
but chewy, and hard to digest
she tried the A-1 sauce,
but it dribbled over the sides
with determination,
she continued to cook
medium:
it was a cold January day
full of yearning
and desire
she was pushed over the edge --
she kept going
but still a little red on the inside
medium-well:
time for the barbeque sauce
remember, when in doubt,
always check the roots
abstract, cooking deep within the outer crust
beyond what can be seen
she continues
more slowly, now
more carefully
well done:
why,
thank you.
- May 26, 1985, A.D.
