Peanut Butter

High atop a shelf
hidden for himself

sits his
delicate delight
secret
at midnight

five fingers fuss
fight to open

use two instead
carefully
slowly
spread

your forbidden
peanut butter
on oven warmed
bread

Amazing! Brilliant! Wonderful! Absolutely love the taste and texture of this.

It is very much love William Carlos Williams. This poem comes to mind:

Poem

As the cat
climbed over
the top of

the jamcloset
first the right
forefoot

carefully
then the hind
stepped down

into the pit of
the empty
flowerpot.

-- William Carlos Williams.
