Saffron Sights

Being “UN”- employed isn’t new to many Americans, let alone the WORLD. It hasn’t been “too” long though. “What” long IS has a determining factor of the monetary accruement versus the obligatory witherings. “Things” could be “better”… but, I’ve seen MANY that, to my “style” of living / survival, are “RIDING the VELVET TOWERED RAZORBACK” . ( high-on-the-hog.) Whether by ingenuity, frugality, or a “gray” enterprise folks have done whatever it requires to live… TODAY.

As I was about to sup, ( the act of feeding the “face”at a time between breakfast and “extreme” hunger.), I was going to murmur something trite but, as I held the bowl of hand shredded boneless pork chop, ( NO “ES”.), from my own garden Broccoli greens with three SILVER, Silver Dollar diametred heads, stems micro sliced to the point where the blossoms scattered. In a combined “pasta” Melange of a child’s size, ( Usually given as a “main” dish for the elderly.), Macaroni & “cheeze” CUP interspersed with a “heaping” package of “Beef”-flavored “RAYMOND’S” Noodles, (“RAH-MAHN”). With this sumptuous Entree’ was added a NEIGHBOR’S compilation of Hungarian, Jalapeno, Indian “RAJ”, AND SCOTCH BONNET PEPPER mix that is called “Duqee Burnz’ DUAL Shout “Salsa” SLATHER”, ( The Scotch Bonnet is “guarenteed” to MAKE YOUR FACE GO NUMB”. And, to elicit TWO full courses of RING of FIRE Three days later,) The shredded chops were an addition to the pre-cooked chicken legs,(2), mixed with a ranch “moisture” flavoring. The last ingredient was a cupped hand full of diced Dandelion greens. After spending twenty minute rustling the ingredients together it only took eight minutes to have the meats their perfect white-gray / no trichina-salmonella in a cheap-n-easy pasta alfreda.

When I came to sit and spit the “good gravy”… THIS was the “conversation”

You have made

THIS day

for EVERYONE

NO MATTER

how THEIR Choise

And filled each space

so ALL may have

to waste,or not have much

the style of their accomplishments

the blessed exude YOUR TOUCH

SO, as I sit

and ask Your Grace

in this meal so “spare”

to know there’s some

with even LESS

at least there’s HOPE

to SHARE
