synesthesia: it's what's for dinner.

i cook because the collision of tastes

in my mouth is there 

all. the.

time.


i can be talking to you (and am) one minute and

figuring out how raisins and blue cheese

might work on

steak the

next.



you can ask me a simple thing like

do i like

(fill-in-the-blank) and i'm

gone. my head is not so much in

a cookbook as it

is

the cookbook.


when i say my prayers

(which tastes like baked apples)

i ask Jesus (rhubarb)

to forgive (gravy),

remember (angel food cake),

and love (no flavor).




love, if you do it right,

doesn't need a flavor.



it has its

own.
