Sandwich, by Charles Carreon
Experiences are like bacon, lettuce and
tomato sandwiches;
Concepts are like toothpicks
holding them together.
What is the toast?
Heaven and earth, the rising
of the sun and moon.
What is the lettuce?
Nostalgia for the First Garden.
What is the tomato?
Birth.
What is the bacon?
The addictive taste of desire.
What is the mayo?
Me and you.
