man-bread
if
god were to create man
he’d
take 500g stardust
a
pinch of salt
10g
yeast
350g
water
and
mix the mess with his
plastic
half-moon cutter
then
he’d slap the dough
onto
his marble kitchen surface
and
bejesus he’d belabour it
till
he’d berated it
aerated
it
and
pumped it full of spirit
then
tenderly
he’d
dust it with stars
leave
it for a trillion years
and
watch the rise of it
give
it a quick scorch
at
250°C
reduce
to 220°C
for
a score of minutes
or
more
and
watch the little blighter
puff
itself up
whip
it out of the oven
onto
a griddle
and
let it cool
and
go off
in
search of someone
to
consume it
