I PREPARED A SIMPLE PASTA DISH FOR OUR REPAST

“I prepared a simple pasta dish for our repast.”

How much is contained in these words!

There is the pasta, the preparation, the idea of a repast.

The anticipation of hunger abated.

The we that is us.

Will we ever reach this repast? 

No one can be certain.

That is the book.

Once there was a book and here is the title:

“I prepared a simple pasta dish for our repast.”

Inside the book the pages are empty.

Preparation is just that.

Dedication.

The book was dedicated to a fly that landed on it years ago.

He had travelled far, eaten well, and was ready to rest.
