chicken pie

once upon a time 
there was a sunday that desperately needed 
to get dressed. 

impatient for that moment, 
the sunday 
hung low in the sky, 

the overcast 
washed out 
the watery sun, 

in places, 
a recent summer storm 
had beaten branches to it. 

the speeding sunday 
needed reinforcement. 
it decided on 
first dessert 
(that would be tarte au maton),

 followed 
by chicken 
later.

you could say, 
it was kind of an upside down day. 
i wouldn't contradict you, 
if you did say.
