From the Chef
By Joe Rosenblatt
Enticed by meaty aromas
passersby wander deep inside
the labyrinth of an eatery
spangled with sweet-scented glands
only to fly through a trap door
into a pool of digestive water
while other famished guests
dreaming of supernatural cuisine
climb down a stairwell of pointy hairs
to discover that their chef
is a reclusive stomach
who bathes his diners
in a tub of singing enzymes ![[Tyee]](http://thetyee.cachefly.net/ui/img/ico_fishie.png){kind=small}

Hungry for more
The great poets have a way of making a poetry look effortless, even easy, as though anyone could have written it. Joe is one of these poets.
