Sourdough Sardonic

Anthony Salandy


Roll on as pastries amass on arcane tables,
Just buckling with pressure,
But levity may be mistaken

From familial angst
That bares down on middle-aged delusions
No longer sanctimonious

Only prey to sudden aging
And demented men
Who force strange questioning to ensue,

Abrupt in its wondering
Just why mores must be clasped
In the farcical hands of men

Who act like a plexus of grains,
Stored in cold bins
And cumulated in glorious ignorance.
