The Empyrean

Arthur opened the salad
container.  It released first
an odor, a satisfying
Pop!
 The lid rolled back 
 from the far
 end to the 
 near.
Pop!
  Caesar Salad
Pop!

--the smell the feel
  crunch crunch crunch
--textures so often missed
  munch munch munch
--time only knows how long
  crunch crunch crunch


Arthur dreamt he was a king
	 King Arthur was indeed King
  Arthur ate 
	       Caesar Salad!
(you are what you eat, you know)
