Grains of Words

Multigrain or sourdough?
So many sources
Or the one true source
When it's cut
You can see how old it is
Delicately following with sandpaper
The way the material wants to be polished
Toasted to perfection
Crispy
But not burned
Oxford's English Descriptionary
A history project
For felling forests
And burning the trees
After they've been split
Unpolished
Fed into the kiln
So the varnish
On the pottery
Can superheat
And hold unporously
Exactly the whiskey
Required
To blur the enunciation
A grainy alcohol
Impressionist words
But not on canvas
A dot matrix printer
Without detail
A stirring motion
Without soup
Embarrassingly unspecific
The backside of a polaroid
Taken in the dark
