Recipe
The sausage of memories-
The nectar of dreams-
The ambrosia of what might be-
The radish of what might have been-
The seasonings of doubt and confidence:
What is for taste, what is for color, where does texture reside?
The comfort of memories-
The promise of dreams-
The enduring reality of the moment-
Prepared by memories and dreams:
The freshness of delight, just off the vine
The taste of opportunity-
The heat of talent-
The coolness of perspective-
The salt and sugar of experience-
The pepper of rejection-
The condiments of friendship-
The soup of family
The second helpings of desire-
The leftovers of remorse-
The endurance of staples-
Is a recipe more than a prediction?
Creating flavor from added ingredients
The uncertainty of environment-
The need for celebration-
The fragile mixture of estranged relations-
A recipe of interaction-
Taking a chance in a melting pot-
The seductive insolence of expectations-
The amusement of the unpredictable-
Blending what we see and what we could have seen
With the vinegar of what we wish to believe-
The protein of life consumed-
The starch and fat of habit-
The unending search for vitamins-
Nourishment and the spirit.
