A bag of mozzarella

Is it right, or is something up
That when I take the chilled bag from the
Humming fridge -its amniotic sack
Slopping around the foetus of white
Milky redolent of summers
Echoing fruits of fresh virtue -
That when I hold it over the sink
And sink a knife into the bag from the
Supermarket, that as the liquid gushes
From the sack to sink in
Cool gouts,
That I think on cutting throats?

    Is it a baby, is it another of watto's victims. No, but it does go well with tomato. I did enjoy this watto. Another fantastic musing on the everyday. You seem to make everyday objects seem extra ordinary. But, 'cool gouts', I simply don't understand. Maybe I am to old for your modern lingo.

  2. Thanks. Who is this by the way? I thought cool gouts to express the spurting of the liquid from the bag.
