Étouffée

Katherine Hepburn slept here.   In
easier times one could simply say
I don’t give a damn.   2 zippies
on my day off; run into Goober
at the Nashville Airport before
EXPERIENCE TURBULENCE.

I don’t really remember New
Orleans.   My first flight(s),
spring break my senior year
in undergrad.   One after
another last night.   Plouf
on Belden then my first
Stepford Wives.

So I reread the same book
twice in one year.   Somehow
proof is determined.   I often
call it my favorite cuisine.
I’ll take ‘Things that can
give you stomach poisoning,’
Dick.


After salmon without sauce
I watch a man throw up
out of a Pontiac.   He looks
happy; ready for the afternoon.
