Poem 142 -Baguette in the Village - written by me and our Guest Poet of the Month Yanky Ashkenazi ( Jack Ashken)

Baguette in the Village
By Saskia Feltz and Yanky Ashkenazi

The sandwich was as unexpected as our encounter
And the encounter is unexpectedly as nice
As the sandwich
Life presents opportunities as randomly and
With as little cultural enlightenment as
The process of choosing that
Cheese from the sea of other cheeses
All unknown like fish from the fishes
.
The village is pretty and warm, which
Makes the process easier and nicer
Even though the village is in France.

The French have never particularly fascinated
The pair, more strangers than friends
More foreign to this land as any, As they wait
To be ousted from their seats and munch
Yum yum.

The cheese in the baguette resembles France
In the way that it is on one hand hard and,
On the other, tasty. Hopefully, the next sandwich will be
As yum yum.

Intelligence is his signifier, what is hers?
Sandwich maker extraordinaire.

à la prochaine fois. Une baguette au village.

Yum yum.
