I taught him how
to toast corn muffins
I watch his butter-ladened knife
smother the charred surface
and watch it disappear
solid to liquid to a mucky
unexplainable quicksand
don’t eat more than
one at a time I tell him
or it will dull the blade
that carves excellent memories
I found out after eating
three of them
this kind of bliss
is a one-time thing
