my impressions of flour
-
when i was very young i was
prohibited from climbing the
kitchen cabinets in order to
get into the sugar container
yet my ulterior motive
next to it was the flour
it started with the creation
of pictures of my fingers in
reverse
and then with a playing card
i molded shapes that would
crack apart in intricate detail
as i nudged at it slightly
with a tablespoon i constructed
mountains and grand canyons
i even made my own
five year old face
thinking how God might
have been inspired with
simple cosmic dust
—
reviewing the cracks and
wrinkles of my pale stoney
cheeks in the mirror
i have decided that it may
be best not to let children
play with flour...
