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.
