SAUCE CODE

SAUCE CODE

Zappa, in my ears
can taste
the satire
in my mouth
(heavenly,
demonic
like a celeste with fuzz
and wah-wah pedal)

something really salty, pillar
of salt
salt of the Earth

except
(thought to savour)
and discovering your capacity
to escape
cistern, be
fountain

be of February
the fixed Gannymede

easy to
throw my lot in
with you on
this issue

designate you
a truly credible source

unless when
you spoke I did happen,
to be Frank, to
mishear you

therefore when you said “source”
could have sworn you said “sauce”.
