COOKING UP SOME GOOD MIND

Cooking up some good mind
like stirring a pot full of thoughts

that mix and mingle
and make a whole thing
that’s different than any of its parts,

turning up the heat
and then turning it down,

melting to allow joining together,
cooling to solidify that joining,

waiting with the oven light on
watching a thought arise
and probably satisfaction

for you and your friends and many more
if it’s really good and big enough,

waiting to see what it will be,
like what you picked out of the cookbook
or something different with your secret sauce.
