FROM AFAR

From afar
She speaks:
"Turn on your
Toast and
Watch it."
But I,
In the more
Verdant pastures
Of my mind,
Have trouble
Parsing the
Grass of
English,
And Spanish
Is no better.
Perhaps Martian
Would be
Appropriate,
Or some
Language of the
Pleiades.
In the meantime,
There is the
Easy familiarity
Of burnt toast.
