Mom's Fried Chicken

Mom's fried chicken, crispy fine
tender and juicy
steaming first delicious bite
dripping down my chin
hot drumstick beckons
licking lips
crunch!

Jollof Rice

Jollof rice is honey comb,
Green pea and  sweet corn ,
Eye appealing, wife of tongue;
Its roasted drumstick:
Lord of every plate;
Jolly rice,
Taste!

Decapitated turkey
Heart attack on a drumstick
Thanksgiving dinner
Bad for everyone
We try not to think of the head being cut off
or where the cooks hands have been

A turkey flew over the cuckoo's nest. A net overhead - flight was not his best. Caught in the buff. Now life is rough. Overhears them drooling for drumstick and breast. 11/3/2022

I catch junk with a stick
Whip it like batter
Make it thick

Set it firm in an oven brick
A sleight-of-hand trick
Flipping a well-rehearsed schtick
Pulling it out of the fire quick

Cool…then plate with a crispy breadstick
Sink your teeth in…taste the kick
A feast of rhyme…a bold remix
Juicy lyrics on a drumstick

To the Beat of the Drum

to the beat of the drum
my head bangs up and down
like i am some rockstar.

to the beat of the drum
i slam my hands on my legs
like i am holding a drumstick.

to the beat of the drum
i thump my legs
like i am banging the bass.

to the beat of the drum
i hurt my ears
like someone’s whispering to it again.

to the beat of the drum
dum dum dum
i feel numb.

Drumstick and Thigh

Young Tim goes to Zaire 
to write his dissertation
in African Studies.

While there he meets and 
marries a beautiful librarian 
darker than he is, flies her 

home to meet the family.
Tim's father asks his mother  
if she knew about Margot.

Mother says she didn’t 
but she’s not surprised. 
On Thanksgiving Day  

Tim likes the dark meat,
the biggest and meatiest 
drumstick and thigh.

I Carry All

I carry all
                                    To the waterfalls of my life
                                      From drumstick to Diana
                                       From Giraffe to Jaguar
                                                     all
                                               As droplets
                                          Their Aroma wraps
                                                My poems
