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.
