Know Your Onions

Hey there Big Cheese
I think you are the bee’s knees

Not a bluenose or a flat tire,

Let us skip the youths' rub & head far removed from the petting pantry

Take a pound of beef liver

   Shake it in flour

      Chop up one fair sized onion

         Fry in hot skillet

I'm the only one at our house who relishes onions and liver.
Ah, the thought of that delicacy sends up my spine a shiver!

yields a hard
but sometime fertile stone
to carry the future...

Pain and blood spills and does longly stay and linger.

Math and onions i...

Small town, broken window houses
dead roses hang in kitchens
leftovers of other women
who eat beef in dark rooms.
            
We are not like them.
Don't touch us, not ready.
Our oven mitts are on.
 
Men can knob themselves

Green Onions

What fool can write about green onions?
Not me, Not me
I'm not a fool you see

Green onions are food
not a poem my friend whose goofy

and not eat for food

So what...

The old church lay in ruins, left to languish in time.
He was sitting on the grave talking to Sergeant R Johnston.
Well, I suppose you want an update on the war.

oblique inverted potting vessels
 full of luminescent onions. 

  half the bulbs have grown out of their 
habitats sprouting at night over roof
tops on saint james avenue.

  the other half hang down along  
telepone wires across the street.

 celestrially conspicious reflecting in...
