Idolatry

He recognizes a

veritable panoply of

gods, all of them

sacred to his faith

in living and in

forever.  His trust

in this assurance 

of plenty inspiring

him to the sacraments

of the blessed aromas

that tincture the air

he trustingly breathes,

the sounds of

preparation upon the

shrines of plenty, his

devotion to the sacred

rites of devouring what

is placed before him,

his acts of daily piety

and surrender to the

gods of the stove,

the refrigerator,

the pantry 

and the barbecue.
