Tasting 2020
the year of the rat
alert spirited and delicate
a fortune cooky roasted
chaotic recipe
pandemic ingredients
trivia at dead ends
virulent revival
fertile breeding ground
imposing novel cuisine
world order fermenting
exposed self-importance
blaming the messenger
abdication by natural force
coronation by default
Pierre Rodin looks at the rodents
counts teeth marks and droppings
a sculpture sold at Wuhan market
next to dragons’ hard hitting fire
only four more years and we shall know
who survives contagious thorn crowns
wreathed graves may remember the day
when everything changed and utopia began ...
