To see at night
with extra clarity,
make sure the food
you eat is carroty.
But if you make
your meal mushroomier,
then the darkness
seems much gloomier.
mushroom
mushroom
when she missed London
she would lie down
upon the carpet,
hold a mushroom to her ear
and hear the sounds of
the Portobello market.
