Lemon Pie in the DSMIV

byfoehn2©

My frazzled mind,
like lemon rind,
bitter, unkind,

has lost its zest.
Better, best,
and all the rest —

the egg, the crust,
the flour dust,
the pie pan's rust —

the stirring whang,
the cloudy tang,
the white meringue —

the wait, the heat
that bakes the treat...
I cannot eat,

nor take a bite;
my gut not right,
no appetite.
