Kijun Times

Come see your life in my crystal glass–

Twenty-five cents is all you pay.

Let me look into our past–

Here’s what you had for lunch today:

Tuna salad and mashed potatoes,

Green pea soup and apple juice,

Collard greens and stewed tomatoes.

Chocolate milk and lemon mousse.

You admit I’ve told it all?

Well, I know it, I confess,

Not by looking in my ball,

But just by looking at your dress.

~Shel Silverstein
