Some of Gregory Zeorlin’s poems are ten words long and fit on a tiny piece of watercolor paper. That page of words and another with an image fit in a lidded tin he calls a “Ten Word Tin.” The tin is just smaller than a cell phone but it doesn't make ring tones, offer texting, twitter, or play music. The tin never needs charging although it might recharge you. This “Ten Word Tin” could start a face-to-face conversation.
This tin is titled “Bacon Master.” Pairing bacon with a familiar iconic image might make sense considering how similar restaurants and churches have become. Both are blends of nourishment and entertainment, seasoned with social expectations. Restaurants often top off the eating experience with bacon while churches offer toppings to get believers into churches.
What do you do with this tin? It's was never fried up for everyone. Some might consider adding the Bacon Master challenge to the breakfast prayer. We've just got to understand where some bacon comes from.
