    I am unstuffing a big bird in this dream
    Msomebody else’s holiday feast—
    and repacking the crop of my own,
    knowing it will burst with such
    onion, oyster, savory bread crust.

    We’ve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Y’know, there’s something about going out in a plane that beats any other way....
