Homage to Bernadette Mayer (May 12, 1945 – November 22, 2022)

my biscuits and gravy are bespoke –
as in mine – and though bought scones
with proprietary pork sausage skinned, fried and
white-sauced-up are hardly an ensemble from scratch,
they remind me of the few diners i visited when
returning home to america searching for
things to celebrate

(prompted by her poem Homage to H & the Speedway Diner)

    • Unortunately, no! I would have loved that. Two memorable ones were at a place in Portland, and also one in Las Vegas: both independent. Also that huge meal in Las Vegas with ‘you lot’!!
