A recipe

Choice with time and memory: a recipe.

Take an empty bowl of will
take a struggle and some guilt
add a tasty resolution
spill some watery expectations
peel a grudge and cut in half
mix it all, beat it up
don't forget a bit of courage
sprinkle over rebel grains.

Make it simmer
make it stiffen
make sure they forget it all.
Strike the clock, then, ring the bell!
It is ready! It is swell!
Wake them up,
harass them
take in moans and cries and damns,
choice's waiting to exact
what they promised in the pact
in times of war
in hours black
when they could not find the track
to bliss and luck.

Make the best of a single slice
it may scald
but it's alright.
