Hyperbole
for those who came in late, or were seated too far in the back
The most magnificent,
life-changing,
world-saving,
resplendent
thing
since the bravest,
truest,
most finely sharpened knife
that the universe had ever known
carved out the first
impossibly shapely,
sumptuously stylish
and seductively supple
slice
from the fluffiest,
flakiest,
most divinely encrusted
loaf
which ever did rise,
whose perfection was spawned
at the convergence
of the purest water,
finest flour,
most ravenous
and most morally astute
yeast particles,
and the most precisely heated,
immaculately assembled
brick-festooned oven ever built.
Imagine,
if the meager three dimensions
of your shallow
human mind
will allow
it,
not one,
but ye! two!
of these circumspectly curated cuttings
of wholesome wheat,
betwixt which
might be laid to rest
a beautifully butchered,
titillatingly tender
sheet of meat
stripped softly and painlessly
from the most
serene and saintly swine —
a proper priest of a peccary! —
wrapped then in regal raiment
of lettuce, tomato, onion,
all of such supreme, earth-quaking quality
which could only have been gardened
by the green thumb
of god herself.
What, then,
could be better?
About the Creator
Jacob Sherman
The desire to read, and perhaps to write, should be cultivated and nurtured with care throughout every stage of life. For my part I will inject what strangeness and truth that I can into our written history. Expect no constants but honesty.
