Menu

He is the bland wolf
see him come,
garish pleas, greedy tongue
into the restaurant.
This is his greeting card adventure.
All around him voices munch
on stony ears.
Look what he devours.
He questions you: why
do you hug your guilt
like a stolen teddy bear,
like your mother?
Eat with me.
Enjoy.

The bland wolf
eating pie
faced with a mistake.
This greeting card adventure
has no bite. The worst is
probable. Evenings here,
voices munch on stony ears.
