Hazelnuts, hazelnuts,
Do I like those?
Are those the ones with that other name?
The British name, it
Starts with a p…Pillibeater?
Filibuster? Something duster?

Do they taste dry or bitter? I think
It’s walnuts that're bitter, almonds and
Newsprint memories that are hard to chew and dry.

Sometimes
The right word will flood in
Washing in with it all matter of
Flot and Sam. Flot and Stem?
No matter, the store is long past.
But then, my path is not tethered…
So I return.
Filberts taste like pecans.
Filberts!

Ah, And sometimes the word
Evokes only relief at remembering
And memories of forgetting it before,
Of mnemonics of Dilbert,
A filbert for a head,
A can being filled with burn...
Sometimes I am too obscure,
even for myself.

You know, a hazelnut loaf is a little like
One of those circular sticky things
with carmelized sugar and cinnamon and yeast...
What's that called?

Will the wondering never cease? Which way was that store?
