you are a guest within this house
welcome choose any door
many have come ahead of you
there will be many more

seek a chamber open and wide
make sure it has sunlight
free your thoughts   release your mind
weigh new with those held tight

think minutes days   days into years
step back   widen your view
each hallway may be curved or straight
seek options more than two

doors will appear both false and true
the best doors need no force
your thoughts will fill in naturally
behind each door   more doors

Ode to Ketchup

Rested,
on the morning of day eight
God was hungry
and God chose the humble
potato for nourishment.
However, God found
its taste unpleasant,
so, God cast it to the ground.
When God casts something,
it doesn’t stop easily;
and the potato passed through
Earth’s hot core and out the other side,
in shreds and fried.

Still hungry, yet forgiving,
God reached down and gathered up
the shredded fried potato to eat,
but God still found its taste lacking.
God, being omnipotent, then said,
“Let there be a condiment that gives
common food heavenly taste.”
And God created

ketchup.

And it came to pass on day eight,
God ate,
and, lo, with eyebrows like golden arches,
God was elated.
Then great joy poured forth from all living beings
for they came to know the pleasure of taste.

Pleased, God created

Idaho!
