Jimmy Figueroa talking, Amityville, NY, 1991

Hell, if it's there, even if
barely visible & boiled so much
most people can't taste it, I
can taste
rosemary's presence
in any dish, and also
can smell its smell, no matter
how faint the aroma.  What
I don't know, though,
is what a rosemary plant
looks like
fer chrissakes
in spite of me being 79 & having had
decades
to find out.  Still
that ain't no major thing
not to know.  
Others things are worse.  Like not recalling why
when a storm snows me in
I don't look forward
to folks
shoveling me out.
