Total Recall - Post Seven

ONCE-UPON-A-TIME
Dip your bread in the primordial soup
Soon it will etre multiplie par dix
Parboil and add sea salt to recipe
Re-season, squash vegetables and dip.

Amino acids, cells, much unseen... more...
More or less the building blocks that made us
Used to be something quite different once...
Once-upon-a-time, that right Amigo?

Perhaps, nobody really knows the law
Lawton Moor, Wythenshawe, reality?
Really, they burnt the chairs to keep warm once
One night in nineteen-fifty-three, perhaps.

Incredible that's all there is to it
Itching to slurp it down - insatiable.

Parboil and add sea salt to recipe

Incredible! that's all there is to it

Re-season, squash vegetables and dip

  1. Took me a minute. Or maybe I still don't get it. But I do think the non-acrostic is way powerful. But really, the question is, how did you do that and still come up with two really great poems?

    1. Thanks Mike, I don't know how I do these things but if you want to see an acrostic of an acrostic of an acrostic, then try this one with thirty six different versions of the original piece.
