compound words


matzo ball
yes though
matzo lives on its own
singular and self-reliant
ball too but
put them together
and there appears 
matzo ball
thing of beauty a
culinary delight a
unique entity a
one-of-a-kind specialty
non-duplicatable and incomparable
two words printed 
matzo space ball but
only one word heard or
thought as in matzo ball and
oy such thinking such
imagining such
tasting as in
Sam savors his matzo ball a
next-to-none
transcendent experience but 
bouncy ball rubber ball red ball blue ball
no though
matzo balls indeed run the risk of
bouncing or turning into rubber but
Sam likes a bouncy 
red rubber ball but hardly savors it
nothing definitive
ad infinitum
recursive little buggers
exist by the
millions billions trillions of
round colored spheres 
no story here bud just
keep moving along
