Not the Life Formerly Known as Mine

Mallarme's prosey jokes.
A drive in July sun in Sally.
Breakfast at Sunrise with friend and omlette.
Seeing a new friend at Sunrise,
listening deep in conversation.
Not saying hello just then.
Beads and overhearing talk of sculpture.
Driving Sally in July sun.
Home to dogs, compact and floppy.
Dough for pie crust.
Fingers sticky with flour, butter, ginger.
Rhubarb soaking in sink.
Dogs, compact and floppy, snoring.
Growl of a bushhog clearing pasture.
Pie crust cooling.
Ginger scent on fingers.
Stephane's elegant outrage.
Good work to do, good work to get.
