Are you dreaming, too?

of every morning we haven’t had yet

Your fingers touch as you fall back asleep

like the signs toddlers use to ask for more

Maybe that’s what I’ve been looking for

Pick a ripe tomato off the vine

toast a chunk of baguette

rub a clove of garlic

drizzle some oil

grate the tomato

and sprinkle it with salt

But best of all,

lay to bed the anchovies,

like you like

make it a matrimonio

to feed you breakfast

every morning, day, and night
