A seminal day no less - one where the accumulated
distress of two months was unceremoniously swept
into the trash heap; no regrets either, or none which
impressed as graciously as moving away from what
seemed an impasse sustained by good manners; to
an emigre we’d’ve been considered casually aufait -
a cosmopolitan view of the ‘barbecue’ culture’s best
features dressed up a treat with beer in both hands
Yet there was something that gave the show away -
cooking haute cuisine any which way but that of the
unconnected electric range leant upon credibility we
pawned for make-no-waves dreams; idea was okay
tho reality’s less forgiving, in connecting the range it
means we arrived where the change sincerely ends
