shameless book promotion time! continuing with my 2nd poetry collection ‘scotch & scars’ from 2020.

a meal is just that, a meal. but did you also know that chow is a harbinger for many a relationship? you didn’t? luckily now you do. and you didn’t have to count any calories to find out, either…

‘scotch & scars’ is available on amazon. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review.

today’s selection is: 

‘pizza’

they sit masticating dreams

from cold crust

thumbing through their phones

sharing slices of pie.

the cheese binds them

stronger than their promises

mundane conversation

reduced to crumbs.

the only thing left to rouse them

a dash of hot sauce.
