Formula

Every moment is a formula

than which there is no better to be had.

Today you ate a crispy chicken thigh

enfolded in a bun with Brooklyn-savvy

condiments and piquant greens

which made you glad.

Now you’re home, unclothed and thin

and bluish-white – self-evidently sad.

Every moment is a formula

than which there is no better to be had.
