The White Whale.

gas burner galvanized · by one gaunt lucifer
   frying these mushrooms
their aroma rising · roams mem'ry
   ice winters prior
power deprived · sickness in tow
   promises broken
the aluminum kettle · with its loud shriek
   ready for tea-time
the sidewalk smooth · to the still mailbox
   pale & untravelled

It actually doesn't help me to keep being reminded these people are not only wrong but pathetic excuses for human beings, too.
