I dream of Meat
Some Mornings
Some mornings
I want to be sitting
at a South Philly Breakfast
place
with scrapple
hear me
scrapple
and eggs
and the whitest of toast
at least
one more morning
in this 2020
_______________________________
Some afternoon
I want an unhealthy hoagie
with the coldest and processed of cuts
at a Delco Diner
with a diet soder
with hot peppers
thick with hot peppers
cigarette afterwards
think I remember that, too
______________________________
Some evening
I want to eat
steak and fries
steak and fries
slowly
rarely
enjoying each bite
like it
might be
something else
equally illicit
Afterwards
inside the joint
inside the joint
I want coffee with my cigar
____________________________________
Just to let you know
I never dream
of
vegetables
