FOLDABLE-EASY-TO-CARRY-BARBEQUE GRILL
an ode to the barbeque grill
Being as small and square as you are,
I can only guess that you were once some sort
of spaceship for interstellar ant travel led by
the instruction of a chicken. I bet you took
the ants to places unseen where interminable
knowledge is now a part of their culture. Learning
to create sustainable cities with sprawling, sandy hills
of food scraps brought by the portable barbeque.
