Lunch at the Palace of Memory |
Grilled salmon, dusted with turmeric,
served over eggs on a silver platter inscribed
with multiplication tables;
Broccoli sautéed with roasted pumpkin seeds
tossed in singing bowls enameled
with the Circle of Fifths;
Hot, dark chocolate drizzled over chilled orange slices,
sprinkled with blueberries and chopped walnuts,
spooned into glass dishes etched
with the Greek, Hebrew, and Sanskrit alphabets;
Steaming hot coffee (or green tea)
poured into porcelain cups glazed
with anatomical diagrams;
On the stage: a string quartet plays The Elements Song
