Really?

Ham and Cheese?
Really?
Ham and Cheese?
What about Green Eggs and Ham?
Or Ham on Rye?
So and so is really a ham?
Ham and Cheese?
Really?
There is a Japanese Ham Sandwich pose in Bikram Yoga.
It hurts and I hate doing it, but I do it.
We have ham on Thanksgiving.
I worked in a Ham factory. Now that I really did.
But Ham and Cheese?
Really?
Ok, here then, here is my response to Ham and Cheese:

Breath

From the first yowl of outrage

at being cast onto this

bright white shore

to that last silent exhale,

we breathe, our life

In and out

In and out

So routine

It steps back from center stage.

Our life a drama

suffering and delight

mostly suffering

and all the while

air comes in, goes out

this cool breeze of our being.
