Prime Turkey
A curious thing,
seven pounds of primero prime rib
materialized in my freezer.
Mouth-teasing saliva reached a high-waterline
just below upraised quizzical eyebrows.
I thanked the beefy butcher
who had dumped out the frozen turkey
in order to make room
for this massive joint of protein perfection.
Did I mistake reality again?
Did the meds confuse my mind’s eye?
I had to check.
Opening the white door
I saw the lumpy turkey still there
and not a hint of delicious steak.
I just hope the turkey ate it.
