at my daughter’s house
getting ready to take the boys to a movie
i opened the freezer and looked for
something healthy and quick to eat before leaving
i chose what appeared to be
some quinoa/whole oats/ancient grains kind of thing
took off the top and heated it up
when i took my first bite i soon realized
there had been a mistake
on my part
it had a taste and texture that really didn’t register
as anything i had ever eaten before
vaguely familiar, but not so much
far from an ancient grain
and it did not taste good
though perhaps was healthy
i looked back again at the top
this time really looking
and saw that it was lightly labeled ‘bee wax’
no doubt from their hives in the backyard
ah, that.
“and what, socrates, is the food of the soul?
surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.”

i interrupted my googling research on ringworm to check in with your bee wax adventure…you and I lead interesting lives! I really wish I had never viewed the pix of ringworm…bee wax is preferable.
