Mussorgsky approaching the gas stove


7:45 AM

It's Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”––

Eugene Ormandy and his sumptuous Philadelphians;

the 9th track: “Ballet of the Chicks in Their Shells”

as I whisked 3 eggs for the morning’s french toast.

the irony of Mussorgsky's track and the preparation of eggs

seemed to escape me, and I cooked and ate the 4 slices

with a pat of butter for each slice and a generous pour

of 100% pure Vermont maple syrup, and as the Philadelphians

continued their march to "..Bald Mountain" and with a bellyful

of french toast, I made a few calls to fend-off the collectors, then entered

the balance of my day summoning the chosen ghosts to be resurrected.
