Restart

Have a mint!
have two!
Feel the glorious reset,
the senses brought back to a comforting
plateau, like salmon
colored ginger and quiet engines.
The almighty zero bringing death
and creation with the savory regularity
of change. The release of the off
button and the pleasantness of a black
slate, clean and clear from distraction.
a tabula rasa if you will.

Kill the phoenix, let it burn
that it may have new life.
So cleanse your palette!
have a mint.
