Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Deftly, the onions remove their skins one word at a time, Understanding the promise of fire and how they will curl And sizzle and sometimes burn beyond recognition, but oh, The smell of frying onions, always recognizable, always Welcoming as the first ingredient, added to just about Anything, always palatable and edible. Truth smells like that. Unless it stings your eyes or doesn't agree with your stomach, Or you worry about bad breath. Then you pass on the onions. So much for truth, eh?
