Poem # 3 from the Arts Fest Reading
A Package To James in England
Dear James,
For your edification I have enclosed mementos
of our American aristocracy –
those living in the . . . “White Castle,”
the Burghers of Columbus, so to speak.
The contents include:
one souvenir bag embossed with Hollywood promotions;
one seductive placard singing the praises of “The Six Pack”;
AND two (2) –
suitable as knick-knacks
and REAL collector’s items –
cardboard White Castle hamburger containers
(some re-assembly required).
These latter items are ACTUAL packages
(from which the sandwiches have been removed)
and – as such –
they allow the lucky recipient to discover the unique aroma
associated with this great American delicacy.
If only I could send you the entire, delectable package!!
Enjoy!!
Yours - Tom
