lemon always wins
Put my lemon in your freezer. Lemon
always wins. Your freezer is serious.
A serious place. Have you ever been
to a frozen place with more delicious
stuff? No you haven’t. Who can say what’s won,
what’s lost when we find the truth and stop? Plus
frozen lemons and also mama’s gun
next to the iced vodka, peas, nutritious
breasts of chicken (two) and frozen french fries,
chocolate kisses. A serious place.
And delicious. As I was saying: Know
your freezer. Know its possibilities
and ice cold truths even as we now face
other ways and close our eyes tight and go.
