and imagine
explorers
heading to the north pole
to plant a flag
to say we made it.
there are the frozen peas
to contend with.
a stiffened bag
of carrots.
the mystery packages
to climb over.
unmarked territory.
trays of ice.
a box of waffles making
a barrier
that they must go around.
i see the sled dogs
pulling them
up the frozen pizza,
the frozen meat loaf.
the cookies and slices
of cake, all wrapped
and frozen solid.
i put a small bottle of
vodka
in there to help them
along.
