Thanks, Ray, this is just what the doctor ordered.
No, you never see me have one with olives—your father likes
olives but I can't stand them.
No, cocktail onions are just picked small. Turn that down, Dan.
Avocados, toothpicks. Coleus, root sprawl.
The diffident glints of a late-day sun, rays
splintered by leaves: they shake and, in their
shaking, streak the light. Transparent murk
of glasses at the glass.
Would you move just one inch over? There. The light was in my eye.

This work is quite different from hundreds (or thousands) of poems we can read on this website. Yes, the questions is what is a poem and what is not. For me, yours it is. But it is also a pearl in gravel.
