french birds

i study the hunk of blue cheese
from france
unwrapped
and on the dish.
9 dollars an ounce.
probably more expensive
than caviar.
who would eat this without
being forced to.
i spread a thick
swab onto a crumbly light
weight cracker
and give it a shot.
a strange musty smell
and taste
explodes in my mouth.
interesting.
this is what mildew must
taste like.
maybe if i set it on the back
patio
the squirrels or birds will
have a go at it.
maybe a french pigeon
in a black beret
will take notice and have
his fill.
i make them a plate
throwing in some olives
and fig goo.
