And each on its own is a taste sensation 

Not everyone savors the different flavors

In a Neapolitan nation...

Listen to poem:

Cans lie strewn, litter
tossed away, discarded trash.
Dents - defile, deform
the perfect container form.
Wanton abuse uncalled-for.

who carried his brains in a bucket.
His container capsized 
and he cried in surprise,
now what was I thinking? Oh furk it!...

Celebrated his birthday with a keg,
That round container full of beer
Was kept by Jimmy oh so near,
That night he fell and broke his leg....

Grasshopper hunter
Gathered grasshoppers
In one container he put them
By morning they had eaten
One another to skeletons
But he stood aside laughing
At the foolish hoppers...

a store of tears 
container of  headache
flower bed of laughter
rail of aggressive teeth
keeps pair of curious eyes
holder chimney nose
really annoying!...

I simply must remember
To get my medication in a
Child proof container
So that I can start opening
Them myself instead of
Letting all the children 
Have all the fun!

A broken heart is like a vase, shattered into pieces 
and these pieces are scattered everywhere 
it's supposed to be container but now it's just pieces 
can't contain flowers, water or even air...

To recall what a certain lady named Maureen
Called me, “a sweet lover of jugs” what did she mean
Did “jugs” refer to
A container maybe two
Methinks I'm pretty close to describing the scene...

Filled to the brim, overflowing onto a warm floor.
It is tasty and delicious, with consistency of goop.
Said the excited Rabbit, who could live here forevermore....

A Container of Life

A vase, once filled with water and a small tree branch, blown by the wind and broken, left little water and a branch yet alive.

Metal thou art not,
Ye alchemists’ Majestic Aluminium
Thou regal geometric shape with equillibrium
Siphoning H2O to the nether world,
Making us not to rot,
Metal thou art not.

I find reason to exalt
    in my container of salt
  The crystals, though white
    taste just like malt

  Now I don't have a sweet tooth
    I had this checked out
  I've got an allergic reaction
    To severe chocolate drought...

A business man’s journey to work.
A glance at his watch as he is getting late.
Little children playing together.
I gave you a gift.
Metal round container box.
A chained reaction.
A furred up coat.
A cold winter night that never ended....

Flasks and drums
Vases and urns
Barrels for holding pickles

Bowls and cups
Pots and pans
Piggy banks for nickles

Beakers, pitchers
Bottles for milk
Mere vessels for the rookies!

For no container
In the world
Can beat my jar of cookies!...

Within eternal soul
I am mud container, 
muddy and soggy, 
contain some clay, water, sand, dust. 
Sunny ray dries me 
I am fire, 
flame of sight,
see everything the outer vision; 
world of fusion, 
I contain 
mortal being- washable thing 
in my immorality!...

I can smell the aroma of a stew cooking,
but my dog can smell every single individual ingredient,
and a bear can smell all of that in a sealed container,
locked inside a sealed cooler,
locked in a garage,
locked in the trunk of a car,
anywhere from 1 to 3 miles afar....

A sensational idea by the owner
Of an Australian restaurant
Placing a large container at each table
For everyone to place their cell phones
If no one uses their phones
During the meal the table is entitled
To a 10% discount
Sensational idea if you ask me...

A bottle of pills

A bottle of pills
Rest on my nightstand
Taunting
As their poison
Seeps through the container.

Starring 
With tears in my eyes
Slowly edging 
Towards my end.

The cap
Soon comes off and onto the floor
Medication rest 
In my hand
Slowly lifting 
To my mouth....

here i sit not giving a 
a container of fresh popcorn at hand

a blank screen and saki night

there's something else with respect a good time
besides body...there's mind

keep as cool as you can

let them the riles to believe
you perceive the web they weave

remain free


stan sand...
