At Capstock this last weekend when I did my performance poetry during Bob's jazz hour, a lot of folks asked me for a copy of 'Anatomy of Toast', heres the poem if you asked for it ...................

anatomy of toast

Its as if I have never held you before
Never felt your serated crust
Felt the lightness of you
Crumpled your edge like dust

Its as if I have never seen you before
Never seen your gradual burnt surface
Seen the differences
Eyed the dark and brightness

Its as if I have never touched you before
Never caressed your mottled texture
Stroked the whole of you
Noticed your lack of moisture

Its as if I have never smelt you before
Never noticed an aromas sparsity
Inhaled the little scent thats there
To delay this experience is agony

Its as if I have never placed you before
Never felt you on my tongues tip
Rolled you around in my mouth
Felt you rub against my inner lip

Its as if I have never tasted you before
Never thought of you having flavour
Dry without butter amongst my saliva
A wet and delicious thing to savour
