Idea for Dinner

by Franco Bertucci

What do we have for dinner?
I look in our cupboards- nothing.

Three kernels of rice and some
brown-colored spice do not count.

But I have faith, based on experience.
God made the world out of nothing;
my wife can make dinner out of nothing,
and nothing never tasted so good.
