Best Kitchen Tool

" I walk without flinching

 through the burning cathedral

 of the summer.  

My bank of wild grass

 is majestic 

and full of music.  

It is a fire that solitude 

presses against my lips. "

Violette Leduc

 

" When from our better selves

 we have too long been parted

 by the hurrying world, 

and droop - 

Sick of its business, 

of its pleasures tired, 

how gracious, how benign 

is solitude. "    

 William Wordsworth

" Hey!

 It's summer!

 Be free and happy

 and danceful

 and uninhibited

 and now-y! "

Terri Guillemets

" Oh, the summer night

Has a smile of light

And she sits 

on a sapphire throne. "

There is one kitchen tool

I reach for again

and again:

The Humble Strap Wrench.

Gripping that jar,

twisting the cemented lid off,

showing it who's boss!

Give me a strap wrench

and a place to stand. . .

Well, you get the idea.

Why,

you might even use it

to change the oil filter 

on your car,

Imagine!

See one very like mine:

Lovely to See You Again, 

My Friend!
