Nope, not dead.

Haha! Rambling poem:

To find a dragon
hidden in beef and broccoli
to obtain first
read your fortune

hidden in beef and broccoli
passed around in front of the screen
to obtain first
through aluminum trays

we have not cooked
the stove is cold
but egg rolls of this minute and cabbage
are still warm

the stove is cold
this house is stiller and colder than I remember
but still warm
'Thank you, have a nice day'

But I am still here
though lost in this fried rice
the stove has been cold for a week
don't you trust me anymore?

though lost in the fried rice
our red dragon glares at me
don't you trust me anymore?
the dragon now rules our home

our red dragon glares at me
over rice paddies and fields of beef and gardens
don't you trust me anymore?
Father, I've lost you to the dragon

over rice paddies and fields of beef and gardens
I can't remember Louisiana
Father, I've lost you to the dragon
and I fear I can't get you back

I can't remember Louisianna
or so my fortune cookie told me
and I fear I can't get you back
my Chinese horoscope says

or so my fortune cookie told me
you should fear the dragon
my Chinese horoscope says
he is rooted in your house--and he will not leave.

Pantoum power~
