Cellophane Flowers never happened for me....

Three Day Old Bread
It is not stale. It lacks the
density, the bounden callousness,
of the truly hardened.

Dressed in a coat
of clear and supple plastic
it has not yet been abandoned to
the fury of the air.

But tear off a hunk with your
teeth and you can tell:
The crust, tan and unwrinkled,
yields haltingly,

the soft, white pith, once plush,
has a wavering laxness,
like an aging waistband.

There is something of it
as a whole I do not like,
even as I bite and swallow.

A pact of dust, mulling silent
in the fine dust that preceded.
An adulteration, greenly present
yet invisible, dating back unto
the flower of the flour.
