Sugar Pill

Is it or isn’t it? The sugar pill isn’t saying. The line that bisects it was intentionally left blank.

It’s a go sign, perhaps, or a one-bead rosary. Its zero gives birth to all other numbers.

Since opposites attract within bounds of reason & good breeding, it must be in love with a salt tablet.

It can be anything the salt wants, including another condiment that cures vagueness.

Who do you say that it is— a prophet or the platter for his savory head?

Like a double agent, it forgets who it’s working for. It’s either about to smile or about to weep.
