BLISS

Hermetically cramming 
poached eggwhites
at 4:54 in the morning—

his coached narrow bones
made a kind 
of clapping music

perfect-
ly timed 
to fall inside

each meek tink
of brittle
flatware on ceramic—neatly cancelling

out 
the signal—

If your good 
old trick 
knee hasn't caught up with you 

by precisely 
this time tomorrow—your cholesterol 
probably 

still 
will 
eventually.
