for those who believe,
he is there, alive, tangible,
visible in every seething
cauldron of pasta,
every boiling pan of noodles,
every swirling platter of fettuccine.
therefore, give thanks,
a short prayer of gratitude
for the soul nourishing goodness
of each al-dente bite.
give thanks for those sauced and cheesed
slithering semolina swirls.
give a knowing nod to
the all-seeing, the all-knowing,
the kind, the most generous
flying spaghetti monster.
