A Little Story
It’s like the spaghetto, all in
boiling in the pan
the instructions say simmer
but you’ve never been
that kind of woman
it’s like the spaghetto, as it raj-es and twists
entangles with the others
steaming spaghetto bliss
heat-fuelled and enlivened
what spaghetto could resist
?
the little spaghetto, pure happy
joining in
the little spaghetti parootie patootie din
the little spaghetti fah-ruity party
the little boiling pan of ecstasy
and the spaghetto, starts-off
alone – single form
hard-backed until it softens
jiggles and swarms
plays twister in the water
bubbling, despite
the indiscretion, the drama
the spaghetto backslide
