This low-fat
Gluten-free
Vegan stuff
Ain't that bad
If you add
A big dollop of butter
And dump it
On a biscuit....

He would not eat right
She wanted him to eat only gluten....

Produced limericks that were free-range
He achieved great success
His limericks were best
And gluten-free -isn't that strange?...

Sam's club pizza
You taste like gluten and chemicals
But your artificial cheese holds me hostage

The ache and the burning in my mouth
Will soon dissipate
And later I will regret

But for now I am satisfied
With your chemicals and gluten...

We've all seen it
their cloying intensity
to the new cause:
tobacco cessation,
gluten-free digestion,
mindful rumination,
deep cleanse elimination,
erotic poetry,
for the lucky
erotic reality,
alcohol abstinence,
Yahweh's deliverance.
And we can only
smile and nod
knowing
this too will pass....

I sit entranced
as the shadows danced
…around me


I left the Buddha
outside in the falling snow
			…I gave him my hat


The tree tilts
The snowman wobbles
		         ….the wind laughs


The neighbor’s dog
Peed on our snowman
I told the kids
    …“he’s not potty trained.”


I wonder
If Santa likes
Sugar, lactose and gluten free
…COOKIES?????

Now a days
Most of the time
I eat fake bread
            GF bread
	For health reasons
	My wife can’t tolerate the real thing
	And so,

I eat fake bread
	Fake pasta
	Fake pizza

	But every so often
	I want the real deal	
	I crave bread 
	Made with wheat

	And a real pizza
	And real pasta 
And real donuts
 
from my unpublished chapbook, "fake things" available on my web page https://theworldaccordingtocosmos.com...

Inspired by the movie “Miracles from Heaven (2016)” 

Live life as if a miracle
Open your eyes you’ll see
Undeniably biblical 
It’s truly gluten-free
Some might be skeptical

Views might be apolitical
Everyone has their own say 
No one stops to enjoy the day. 
Take a look at the biological
Even Einstein could not disagree
Right before you all this time, give praise and thanks to Thee....
