"Free-flowing ceilings"

Damasked, dishwashed kitchen knives;
lovely ladles, idle – of mokume.
You never did call me on the phone, so I’ve 
been stuck here in GMT minus four.

Free-flowing ceilings soothe inconstantly – the
central coastal upstate lowlands abide.
Then Boca Burgers and morning deadlines, maybe 
some knife-hits (surely most ill-advised).

The heartfelt signatures forged by a 
part-time phone-sex troubleshooter;
the southward-outbound trout, taking well to a
bit and bridle there after a while.

Soured buttermilk cat paw-prints, vinyl tile.
—Uproar: rib sandwich month is no more.
Overfed, under strain, chipping for more ice.. 
silence is the best news that we’ve never heard.
