sour milk
Nov 2 · 1 min read
when does the milk go sour,
on what date, at which hour?
what has the causal power,
to ruin desire to devour?
from sweet and creamy odour
rises a taste so dour —
separation into towers
of precipitation showers.
noiseless, like a wallflower,
its spoil beyond willpower,
don’t save it with some flour
to make a roux that glowers.
let it be, another hour,
waiting hopeful, you cower
entropy is in rush hour.
it will pass, from being sour,
to being sourer,
to being —
buttermilk.
