The Corte de Bleu (Free verse) by GregDeEgg
The dead fish
swims laps in the stomachs
of the patrons
dining at the Corte de Bleu.
Red wine
only makes it stronger.
The red hair
in the steamed carrots
came from the chef
who prepared the shallots.
The shallots
bear no hair.
The lustful mice
from the sea docks
find their home
in the crates of unused bread.
The canned truffle
is sore on the teeth.
The smiling cod
in the deep frier
came from the docks
and knew well the mice.
On his platter he aproaches
searching your table for bread baskets.
The Corte de Bleu
in the midst of suburbia
smiles its smile
at the wealth it aquires.
Tuesdays and Thursdays
all plates half price.
