The best exit

If
I had not misjudged
the location
of the flashing lights,
if
I had not chosen
this wrong exit
for my impromptu detour,
I
would not have seen
this moon
monstrously misshapen
grotesque eerie orange
a celestial cheddar souffle
just above the horizon
failing to rise
perfectly.

If I had not chosen
this wrong exit,
I would not have seen
this moon.

  1. "Celestial cheddar souffle" made me giggle, but it's so appropriate. :)

  2. celestial cheddar souffle... nice.

    [On a related, but really qualitatively different note, I've been ripping my cd's and ended up relistening to VeggieTunes: the 'Going to the Promised Land' song includes a request for cheese souffle. As Paul points out, it doesn't seem especially authentic, does it?]
