melted butter
pads on the center
of each illustration
on the diner menu.
Something irresistible
something happening
Something becoming something else
What you wanted to happen
Inside you.
It was the
act of satiating Spun as
a decisive move
out of inertia
A U-turn of course.
Diners weren’t very
profligate with released
energy.
They dealt in warm
squibs of possibility
ending in acquiescence.
The butter squares
softening and running
said it all.
