I've seen three workers work to make one loaf; that's socialism of production. I've seen four share one table and a loaf of brea: that's socialism of consumption.

When time coughed me up naked and dazzling
I was hungry for nectarines and heavy cream
Fish heads in broth, sprouted white beans

A little basket of edible flowers: nasturtiums, roses, pansies. I eat pansies. I LOVE pansies, delicious buttery purple lettuce!!

Good morning, cornbread.
Here's your heartache of beans
and gruel,
tempered figment,
a blessing,
a fallible
consistency
appended
to angel breath.
