Once Again

3/22/15



Once again
Everything eventually comes to an end
Anytime, not just through the months ahead
What good is it to just pretend?


The recipe
For longevity
Was a secret remedy
And one of the ingredients was sesame
Allegedly

The temperature was seventeen
And I had a full head of steam
Because of something they said to me
But I let it be
Coincidentally
What was done next was carried out with discrepancy


The house was squalid
And barely solid
But the place had a draw of solace

There was a tree that was an almond
And a black cauldron


Which contained knowledge
In a stew made with the involvement of olives
