Quick Quiche Ideas

I don’t actually fancy quiche
but do not unsubscribe. Starred
in my inbox: You can’t go wrong
with these brunch favorites!
Our recipes will keep you happy,


not sporting, across your abdomen,
yards of gauze bandage, not
negotiating a low platelet count.
Hundreds of quiches, one for each
going-about-its-business ant

that lands in an antlion trap. Chill
dough, roll out to eleven inches,
avoid stretching and tearing, drape
over a pie plate, decorate
with little half moons.

Today I will not be making quiche.
Today I will relish my neighbor’s roof,
his shuttered windows. All day
I will look forward to being delighted
by his half-obedient dog, Lorenzo.
