Breakfast

Here we are - 135 north 5th St.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York,

for your first heap of freshly picked

strawberries from south Jersey

and 2 eggs, any style. maybe Benedict,

and a side of grits. Above Mason-Dixon

caramelized grape-fruit with mint.

Some milk? Dairy or Mimosas? You

do like sparkling things [this month?]. I know,

fig jam and brioche. Few words for breakfast

and something about the light in June. "I'm

not hungry" - I frown as you examine the

plate for any leftover food. I'm hot, I'm

the dad [the silent type]. And you look

lovely today, napkin on your lap, as the

sun flickers over the butter knife.
