First, let's define Chef salad. Left to the cook's whim & larder, a Chef salad does not need to include chicken or turkey or roast beef. In fact this morning here's what this cook presented:
baby lettuces
Santa Rosa plums
Persian cucumber
queso blanco
walnuts
shelled pistachios
fresh basil
olive oil
a generous splash of soy
pepper
So to get back on point. A Chef salad is finished when the chef says so. It may not have the look and taste of something academic. Provisional poetry speaks of and to the same language. Necessity.

ReplyDeleteTo look at flags and see freedom
off in the looming future
is one version of the dream
what else shall we keep in mind?
one small and firm orange
a chance at immortality
three books, hand made and true
without a world turning around us
can we believe in a wonder
like the ripened moon?
