chowder head
I think coincidence
and soup are synonyms
both words mean
to fall together
it started with bacon
that’s when I knew
we were having
chowder for supper
I found potatoes
and chopped clams
even as I grabbed
items as though
I was gathering
props for improv
giving myself options
I couldn’t see yet
the clam to spud
ratio was unbalanced
so I reached for
the sweet potatoes
and let the creamy
coincidence simmer
as the soup turned
the color of sunset
we emptied our bowls
and filled them again
grateful for the way
things fall together
Peace,
Milton
Can we have this soup in March?
