Our Life is Fiction
Con/Jur/d, 1/25/2024

From begging bowl
to a dietitian’s portion control
our life is a series of fictions
without conflict, it is difficult
to write a story

easy to write a poem
if we avoid picking and choosing
although it’s hard to do

chopping brussel sprouts on the fitted
wooden cutting board, the sound is 
lovely, even the garbage can opening
or the patter of rain, outside
although, the shhh of central heating
says:

temporal not spatial distinction

create a taste

of quiet

no room for fiction
between the edge of a Japanese knife
and green leaves parting
