It's been a while...

It's been a while, so this is just to say,

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

(William Carlos Williams, "This is Just to Say")

So much depends
upon
chicken mc
nuggets

an order of
fries

and a Big Mac with
cheese.

Haha, a modern rewrite.

My poetry prof last semester, Maria Gillan, loved that poem. She knew Williams long ago, I guess.

I love it, too. It's just so... I can't even describe it, I can only feel it.
