Sherman is a cafe in Somerville, Mass. where I write my life away...
_______________________________________A

A Sherman Oatmeal Scone

 

 Funny thing--

for a poem.

An oatmeal scone.

But it is the first

to meet my mouth

at the break of day,

bright, red cherries

greeting me

from mealy

tasty clay.

 

And it never

tastes quite the same

and its daily texture

a new thrill

for the roof of

my mouth--

A succulent, grainy

morsel

that jiggles

on many a

studded tongue--

a scone that dances

with us

whether we are old

or young.

Lol, this was fun, really enjoyed it, and that is what we all need some days, a smile of enjoyment, like when eating a scone, for instance :)
