What is the power basis of a rice pudding?
never ending milk and rice placed to a bowl, or pot
riddled with the blood of a strawberry
pulsed into a fibrous jelly and dolloped into the sea
at the end of the pot, or the bowl, sits the rainbow
waiting for your lottery win of gold and fizz
like one of those Dib-Dab sweets that children
of the 70’s thought so wonderful, now a game
on a phone that cannot call, but can tell you the
weather in Nairobi.
