Together.

The devil walked into the kitchen
bearing a tray
of chilled luscious strawberries
dipped in dark chocolate...
And thus ended my time
at the party of the night.

I am wondering
(with the recession),
if house parties
and get-togethers
and pot-lucks
and group grill-outs
and picnics
will make a recovery.

Tupperware
will become
"the-party-to-go-to",
casseroles
will enjoy
a renaissance,
recipes will
once again
be copied down
and swapped,
and maybe
even
hand-churned
home made
ice cream
will reappear.

A recession
may make
us
better...
Together.
