Ear Of Corn

They cook up corn in the market

in various ways. I've never partaken

until today, but, the time was right.

I got an ear of corn on a wooden stick,

slathered with mayonnaise, drenched

in shredded cheese, with a sprinkling

of a sharp red powder. 

The corn was not like midwestern sweet

corn... the kernels were more meaty, but,

it was cooked well. All that fat from the

cheese and mayonnaise made it a meal.

It wasn't like the first time I ate sushi, which

was love at first bite. But, it was new. I don't

do new much anymore.
